The call is over. What sticks with you can last long after the shift ends.

West Metro Fire Rescue is hosting peer support training open to all first responders and mental health professionals who work alongside public safety. Across fire, law enforcement and emergency dispatch, peer support programs have helped thousands of first responders work through tough calls, build stronger teams and manage the demands of work and home. The class is December 2, 3, and 4.

In this class, you’ll learn how to spot the effects of stress in yourself and others, ask thoughtful questions, listen without judgment and connect someone with the right resource for what they’re facing.

Sign up to build skills you can use when a teammate needs someone to talk to.

Cost is $400 (lunch included) for the three day class. Certificate of completion provided at the end of the class.
