Peer Support Training for CLEOs and Command Staff
Law Enforcement personnel face ongoing high-stress situations, traumatic events and workplace demands not faced by other careers. These events can significantly impact their mental health and overall well-being. Peer support can be the first line of defense in stress management and mental health for public safety. Peer contact improves mental health outcomes, including suicide prevention and fosters a culture of wellness in your organization.
This 30 hour, State-approved Peer Support Training is designed for chief and command-level law enforcement officers to support each other through challenges and better understand their department's needs. A peer support team is essential.
