Low Cost - High Value

We think peer support is the most effective, low-cost, organized way to provide care to colleagues in need.  We commit to get you the most bang for your training buck.

#PEERLIFE

Unlike CISM, peer support is NOT an intervention; rather, it is a way of life.  Our work is to inspire peers to commit to love, care and support of colleagues during good times and bad.

DIY

We are calling for interested and enthusiastic peers to becoming approved instructors in order to improve response, expand their care network and save their organization valuable training dollars.
