To provide effective assistance, specialized training and ongoing education are essential, adhering to ethical, legal, and intervention best practices. As the challenges for this population continually evolve, so should the intervention strategies. The legal landscape, especially concerning confidentiality, is rapidly changing through case law though many peer teams are unaware of the implications. Additionally, many traditional programs have focused on post incident intervention rather than proactive measures to prevent significant decline. Furthermore, organizations lack the time, manpower, and regular clinical consultation and guidance necessary to adapt to these changes and provide peer teams with the support they need. With so much going on, changes in personnel, and the high cost of sending people to live training, it can be challenging to find answers to these problems. Many training opportunities require in-person attendance or full participation in Zoom sessions that last from one day to several days, which can be difficult for first responders to attend. The best solution is finding an online, self paced program that offers comprehensive training and a full suite of benefits to support peer teams in all they do.
