Vermont Center for Responder Wellness’ Post

The news may just be a headline for some people, but for First Responders it's a lived reality. It takes a tremendous personal toll to witness tragedy and to re-tell the story for families or the news. It can be difficult for First Responders to find a safe space to deal with the trauma they experience on the job, but these safe spaces do exist. With access to someone they can trust, confide in and relate to, First Responders are more likely to open up about their wellbeing. Peer Support groups are a great way to establish a system of trust and support within an organization. Our internal team of Peer Support Specialists are all retired First Responders, which makes them especially culturally competent members of the community they now serve. 🚓 If you are interested in establishing a Peer Support group within your agency, contact us through our website to schedule a training: vtresponderwellness.com #vcrw #responderwellness #peersupport #peersupportprogram #peersupportspecialist
