About the event
Learn Concepts of Peer Support, as recommended by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Mental Health Commission of Canada, and worldwide experts in the field of peer support.
We include ALL BADGES - ALL UNIFORMS - ALL SCRUBS - ALL TOGETHER as we rely on each other all the time!
We recognize that emergency service workers want straight talk to get the job done. How do we know? Because our National Peer Support Academy instructors are not ordinary clinicians - they are culturally competent, having spent thousands of hours on the job as first responders themselves. We know how you feel, as we have felt the same way, and we will share what we've found - as clinicians and first responders - to help our fellow tribe members.
The Academy fills up fast. Reserve…
