AGENCY IN-SERVICE TRAINING - Peer to Peer (25S-36)

Full Description: This course will train active and retired members of law enforcement, as well as civilian support staff and
mental health clinicians, to assist and support peer officers with managing stress related not only to their
duties as law enforcement officers, but also with stress related to life outside the scope of the job. While
trained peer support services are most likely to be sought out following a critical incident, course
participants will be equipped to assist fellow officers with managing everyday stressors related to life as
a law enforcement professional. Thus, this course contains post-critical incident skills development, but
also focuses on active listening skills as well as concepts from the field of Positive Psychology which focus
on the development of individual strengths of the supported officer. This course is intended to increase
the skill level and number of trained peer supporters among members of the law enforcement
profession. In addition, it will create a national standard for trained peer support in peer support, and
provides the student with access to a nationwide network of trained mentors.
