&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;PEER SUPPORT &amp;amp; CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEF TRAINING&lt;br&gt;
40 HOUR BASIC TRAINING&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peer Support is a means for a department to show support to their employees, offering them opportunities to care for themselves and their families. Peer Support helps those who without it, might turn to substances, illegal activity, poor performance, seeking a different career, mental health issues and even suicide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peer Support is an informal, private opportunity, for someone to speak to a peer, to assist with any issues the First Responder may be having difficulty with. It helps clarify concerns and explore available resources. Peer Support is preventative maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This training will equip First Responders, Chaplains and Mental Health Professionals with listening skills to recognize, help to prevent and understand the effects of stress and refer to outside resources, if needed. Throughout the training, participants will be expected to participate in peer support exercises which elicit personal information and feelings. Following this training, the Peer will be able to provide services at their agency as well as assist and lead groups following critical incidents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who should attend?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Police, Fire, Dispatchers, Paramedics, Chaplains, Mental Health Professionals that work with First Responders&lt;/p&gt;
