Education is the first step in building an effective peer support program. Support that Saves: A Guide to Building and Sustaining Peer Support is a three-day training opportunity that covers all elements of building and maintaining an effective peer support program. Peer support programs provide many benefits to public safety professionals, including acknowledging the difficulties of response work, strengthening teams, and equipping them to cope effectively. Peer support programs:

  • Provide training to identify risk factors for behavioral and mental health problems.
  • Reduce stigma by encouraging conversations surrounding mental health and normalizing difficult experiences.
  • Create an environment where people feel comfortable approaching one another.
  • Link peers to outside professional resources for additional care when necessary.

This course enables introduces public safety professionals and other supporting personnel to culturally competent, trauma-informed, peer-supportive care principles, so they are prepared to support the mental health needs in their communities in an individual or team setting.
