Peer Support Programs: An example from Ottawa

Peer support programs have become a common tool to support and protect the mental health of public safety personnel.  With new programs and apps being developed, CIPSRT wanted to explore what makes a successful peer support program. We have asked members from Ottawa peer support groups to share how they have organized their programs. How did they set up the program and choose the peer supporters? Do they offer training to the peer supporters? How does leadership support their efforts?  Our presenters will answer these questions and many more as they share their experiences of leading peer support groups in the nation’s capital.
