PEER SUPPORT

Shoulder to Shoulder we will never walk alone

The Peer Support Program focuses on the everyday experiences of everyday, typical people. The Program is ultimately based on the premise that people who experience a common circumstance or find themselves in a common predicament can, by virtue of their understanding, facilitate recovery in others. In many instances peers have been in the same or similar situations as the troubled employee. Peers often understand the plight of their co-workers and are, generally, perceived by their co-workers "to understand". The Peer Support personnel understand and share the stress of the EMS environment.
