Peer support allows colleagues to support one another and can be a good form of early intervention.
Peer support, informal or formal, can be an important element of wellbeing for employees, and only a fellow officer or firefighter can provide some forms of understanding and comfort.
In agencies considering the development of a peer support program, peer support teams should be formulated based on a selection process and then proper training. Peer support team members can then use their personal experiences, along with the training, to build trust, familiarity, support, and allegiance to a fellow officer or firefighter.
