Why use Peer Support?
When a person has been involved in a critical event, it’s not unusual for them to experience intrusive thoughts and dreams, different moods, uncharacteristic emotions, loss of energy, and minor or delayed shock. These are normal thoughts and feelings that normal people experience when exposed to an abnormal event.
Studies show that when a person has been through a critical incident, they tend to have a better post-incident return to normalcy when they discuss the event with a support person. Often, this interaction can prevent a person from seeking further mental health support.
Peer Support provides an outlet for those involved to share their experiences and reactions to the event, express thoughts and concerns since the event, and receive guidance on what one can do to feel better and return to pre-incident functionality if troubled.
Our team is committed to helping you process the event, answer questions, provide assistance, and lend support. Everything shared should be considered confidential. Our team does not report the interaction or conversation.
Reactions to traumatic events vary from person to person and event to event. Two people can go on the same call and perceive it completely differently. Continuous exposure to trauma can begin to overwhelm or compromise your ability to cope effectively.
