In aviation, the pressure to perform at a high level can make it difficult to speak openly about stress, fatigue or personal challenges. That’s why NBAA is proud to offer members access to MedAire Wellbeing Services, powered by Talk to a Peer, a peer support resource created specifically for aviation professionals.
Unlike traditional employee assistance programs, the service connects users with trained peers who understand the realities of life on the flight deck, cabin and operations environment. These current and former aviation professionals are trained in active listening, empathy and resilience-building, providing support from people who truly understand the industry’s unique demands.
Available worldwide through a secure, confidential, online platform, MedAire Wellbeing Services offers a safe, judgment-free space to talk through challenges and strengthen overall wellbeing. Support is available 24/7 and additional professional resources are available when needed.
NBAA members receive special pricing on an individual annual membership.
To get started, email talktoapeer@medaire.com with full contact info and NBAA member number.
