Peer Support

Peer Support Team members are firefighters, just like you.  They have experience on the job dealing with difficult situations and traumas and have felt the emotional impacts.  Peer Support members have received extra training in listening and providing support to help their peers work through what is being experienced.  They know when to make a referral to a trusted mental health professional or other resources as needed.  They, themselves are not counselors but are firefighters who are covered by confidentiality and privileged communication per RCW 5.60.060.  What you share with them stays with them.  Peer support team members can be contacted directly and anonymously at any time.

Chaplains

Chaplains are trained in crisis response and intervention, not just for the citizens of the community, but for firefighters and their families as well.  A chaplain can be there for you and your family for personal situations.  A chaplain can provide insight and a listening ear.  All communication with a chaplain is considered confidential; they can be contacted directly and anonymously at any time.  Whether it be a hospital visit when you or a family member is injured or sick, or you need some support from a non-judgmental party, a chaplain will be there for you.
