We are here for you.
Press to Talk is HAF's confidential peer support and mental wellbeing service for people in aviation.
Sometimes it's a difficult flight that stays with you. Sometimes it's fatigue, stress, financial pressure, or problems at home. Sometimes it's nothing you can quite put into words, just the feeling that carrying it alone is becoming harder.
You don't have to give us your real name. You don't have to explain everything. Tell us how to reach you, and a peer who has been there will pick up.
How it works
-
You reach out
A short form. A callsign, not a name, if you prefer.
-
We match you to a peer
Trained, same role family, same kind of fleet or sector.
-
They reach back, within 24 hours
By the channel you chose. As often as you want.
-
Nothing on your record
No medical file. No incident report. The conversation stays between the two of you.
Why "Press to Talk"?
In aviation, press to talk is the small button on a yoke, sidestick, headset, or radio that opens the frequency. For a brief moment, the channel is yours.
You don't need to prepare a speech. You don't need the perfect words. You press the button, speak, and trust that someone is listening.
We believe asking for support should feel the same way.
