A program designed to promote discussion of mental health and the value of peer support for first responders is coming to the Northwest.
A tour promoting conversations on mental health and recovery and the value of peer support for first responders is coming to Northwestern Ontario.
The sessions are jointly organized by the OPP and Boots on the Ground, a charity organization that provides peer support for first responders across Canada via a confidential and anonymous, emergency telephone help line that’s open 24/7. “After they get done speaking, there will be an opportunity for questions and conversations from other first responders,” he said. “A Boots on the Ground representative as well as the OPP healthy workplace team will make themselves available for conversations as well after the event if any of the members feel like they need to talk to a professional counselor after.”“Unfortunately, we respond to what most people consider to be their worst days and that is an average day for us.
