What are the Benefits of Joining a Peer Support Group?

Joining a peer support group for PTSI can provide a wide range of benefits for those who have experienced trauma, including:

• Connecting with others who understand the unique challenges and struggles of PTSI.
• Sharing experiences and supporting each other through the healing process.
• A safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to process their emotions and learn coping strategies.
• Led by trained First Responders and facilitators who can provide guidance and education on managing symptoms, self-care, and accessing additional resources.
• Helps individuals feel less isolated and alone in their journey towards recovery.
• Provides a sense of camaraderie and belonging that can be crucial for healing and growth.

These groups can be a powerful tool for individuals to learn how to manage their symptoms and find ways to cope with their trauma in a supportive environment. Joining a peer support group can be the first step towards healing and recovery.

Meetings are open to all First Responders and Veterans in the community. The meetings are facilitated by retired and active First Responders, trained to lead these supportive and confidential meetings. All active and retired First Responders are welcome. Family of Warriors is continually securing new venues for First Responder support groups.
