Wings of Change’s Peer Support Program offers solution-based discussion and education regarding any work-related trauma and mental health challenge. These informal meetings are facilitated by peers experiencing similiar concerns with traumatic calls/events and who are interested in sharing suggestions on how to maintain or improve mental health.
