When the Badge Gets Heavy: Why First Responders Need Peer Support
Host Brian Miller sits down with Kym, a peer support team member, to explain what peer support looks like for first responders, the training involved (including CISM), and how confidentiality and peer-to-peer care help address trauma, suicide risk, and job stress.
They discuss overcoming stigma, generational differences, accessing help, and why every department—large or small—should consider peer support as a vital resource.
