Today, more than ever, First Responders need to be operating at their best on a personal and professional level. One of the ways to help them achieve this goal is to create a Peer Support Team at your department. When your department is operating at its best, officers are taking care of each other and are better able to serve the citizens. By having personnel trained in peer support, members will know signs to watch for and understand how to handle situations when they are first observed.
The training session consists of 2 days of intense learning. Kristen Herreid and Vanessa Leonard have teamed up to teach peer support classes to First Responders throughout Wisconsin, including DOJ, State Patrol, DNR and several city and county agencies.
Presenters: Kristen Herreid, LCSW - Saver's Hope First Responder Mental Health
Vanessa Leonard, Chief of Police-Town of Oakland, Patrol Lieutenant-Fort Atkinson PD, and Jefferson County Police Officer Support Team
