PeerConnect is a wonder for our Peer Support Team – it provides them with experience and an avenue to give peer support and proactive support to all of our members. Proactive peer support is enabling our Peer Supports to build relationships with members and encouraging peer support interactions.

What will my success look like?

  • Access to exclusive materials from experts in the field of law enforcement wellness
  • Customized to the needs of law enforcement and policing
  • Integration of law resources, information, and materials
  • Supports specific to law enforcement and first responders 
  • Healthier culture reinforced by a sense of trust and support among members
  • More effective communication and engaging dialogue throughout your entire organization
  • Revitalize your officers to become more passionate about serving the community
  • Decrease your absenteeism rate stemming from job-related stress

Supervisors have the best of intentions when it comes to supporting the officers they oversee, but aren’t sure where to begin implementing a workplace wellness program, or if their current efforts are doing the job with such a large and diverse force. 

PeerConnect provides officers on the front-line with a secure place to request contact from a Peer Support worker, and allows wellness coordinators to ensure the needs of their team are managed and cared for.

PeerConnect has been a crucial addition to Nipissing District Paramedic Services, and it has contributed significantly to the mental wellbeing of our staff. It is an innovative solution that provides easy access to mental health resources, and I would highly recommend it to any organization looking to support their staff's mental wellbeing.

Wellness Coordinator
District of Nipissing Paramedic Services

We’ve been searching for a program that would help us more easily connect our firefighters to their peer support teams, both internally and across our partner agencies. There is nothing we have found that provides the features and value that PeerConnect offers, and we are excited about the possibilities this app has opened for us in offering more support to our membership and communities.

PeerConnect is the only program I have seen that will increase access to care and reduce the time and resources spent coordinating our Peer Support teams.

As a clinical researcher and trainer in the mental health space, I appreciate the importance and sustainability of First Response Mental Health's program. Organizations who use the system and participate in the training will see an increase in helpful interactions and communication among their team members, leading to healthier and more supportive workplaces.
