For many of us fortunate enough to be employed, a large portion of our life is spent at work; in fact, the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. The fast pace of meeting deadlines, managing work and home balance and the ability to remain connected “to our desk” through mobile devices leads to significant stress and burnout.
Personalized mental health services with Give an Hour alleviate the burnout crisis in your organization and help improve employee wellbeing.
Whether you are seeking a one-time workshop, a series of trainings or ongoing assistance with organizational or community change, Give an Hour is here to help.
We offer trainings to educate, upskill, and empower individuals on their healing journeys. The purpose is to build resilience by providing support and guiding them in supporting others.
Our current training model centers on customization – we flex for the customer’s needs by listening, learning, creating, evaluating, and adjusting.
Peer support is the process of giving and receiving encouragement and assistance to achieve long-term resilience and recovery. Peer supporters offer emotional support, share knowledge, teach skills, provide practical assistance, and connect people with resources, opportunities, and communities of support. GAH-trained peer supporters offer their unique lived experience to provide support focused on advocacy, education, mentoring, and motivation.
Peer support is not therapy or professional counseling. While peer supporters have been trained and are being supported by a team of mental health professionals, peer supporters are not licensed mental health clinicians. They are peers, who want to connect and support with those who have experienced similar experiences or traumas.
Give an Hour provides Peer Support Training on Military Bases. Interested in getting it started on your base? Reach out to us!

Data Collection & Responsive Integration into Future Trainings
The Veteran MILE Gateway Training is a foundational mental health training designed to help organizations better support veterans through early awareness, connection, and action.
Built on a scientifically approved model and informed by public health best practices through our work with the CDC, this training equips employees, supervisors, and teams to recognize early signs of mental health distress, respond with confidence, and engage in supportive, peer-driven conversations.
Participants develop a shared understanding of mental health, strengthen their mental health literacy, and learn practical strategies to identify concerns early and connect veterans to appropriate resources and levels of care. By normalizing conversations around mental health and reinforcing peer support, the training helps reduce stigma and increase help-seeking behaviors.
