BACKGROUND<\/h1>\n
The Wounded Warriors Canada Peer Support Fundamentals program is designed to help Trauma Exposed Professionals (TExP’s) become confident, capable, well-informed peer supporters, with increased personal resiliency for the rigors of their frontline and peer support roles. The program is intended to benefit both seasoned peer supporters and novices who require a grounding in the fundamentals of peer support. We provide a combination of content-rich education about a variety of relevant topics as well as opportunities for experiential learning. Attendees will learn about concepts that will improve their ability to recognize and respond to signs of stress and trauma in self and others, and to manage the crucial transition between \u00ab\u00a0home mode\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0responder mode.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
The Wounded Warriors Canada Peer Support Fundamentals program aims to provide an engaging and educational training experience, which will ultimately facilitate the growth of each individual and the teams they hail from. Both the educational and experiential components of the program bolster the emotional well-being of the peer supporters in attendance, and encourage the creation of bonds that can create ongoing mutual support. Our goal is to build a feeling of community and support among workshop participants.<\/p>\n
Psychologists and peer support consultants collaborated on the development of the program, and work in tandem to conduct the training.<\/p>\n
Psychologists<\/strong> involved in the training have extensive experience working with first responders, both as front-line clinicians and as peer support trainers.<\/p>\nPeer Support Consultants<\/strong> are individuals who come from first responder careers, who have an abundance of real-world peer support experience, as well as knowledge and understanding of the unique challenges facing peer support teams for first responder services.<\/p>\nDelivery Model: <\/strong>In-person group-based experiential learning environment – normally procured by organizations for both small and large groups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

The Wounded Warriors Canada peer support program aims to provide an engaging and educational training experience, which will ultimately facilitate the growth of each individual and the teams they hail from. Both the educational and experiential components of the program bolster the emotional well-being of the peer supporters in attendance, and encourage the creation of bonds that can create ongoing mutual support. Our goal is to build a feeling of community and support among workshop participants.<\/p>\n
First responders who volunteer to support colleagues in crisis require and deserve specialized training. The unavoidable, cumulative operational stress and trauma absorbed by first responders in the course of their work means that peers often come to them in severe distress. It also means that peer supporters themselves tend to carry heavy loads of past and anticipated workplace trauma. Without proper training and support, first responders risk becoming overburdened by the additional responsibilities and emotional demands of peer support work.<\/p>\n

The Wounded Warriors Canada peer support training program is designed to help first responders become confident, capable, well-informed peer supporters, with increased personal resiliency for the rigors of their frontline and peer support roles. Because this program will be attended by individuals representing different peer support \u201chome teams,\u201d it is also designed to make knowledge transfer easy. In training, peer supporters will be provided with materials, take-away messaging, and dissemination strategies for strengthening their teams at home.<\/p>\n
Psychologists and peer support consultants collaborated on the development of the program, and work in tandem to conduct the training.<\/p>\n
Psychologists<\/strong> involved in the training have extensive experience working with first responders, both as front-line clinicians and as peer support trainers.<\/p>\nPeer Support Consultants<\/strong> are individuals who come from first responder careers, who have an abundance of real-world peer support experience, as well as knowledge and understanding of the unique challenges facing peer support teams for first responder services.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00a0\u00bb1″ disabled_on=\u00a0\u00bbon|on|on\u00a0\u00bb admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbCURRICULUM OVERVIEW\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0″ background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#9E1723″ background_color_gradient_start=\u00a0\u00bbrgba(51,51,51,0.74)\u00a0\u00bb background_color_gradient_end=\u00a0\u00bb#000000″ background_enable_image=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb parallax=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb inner_width_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb50px\u00a0\u00bb inner_max_width_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb50px\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0px||12px||false|false\u00a0\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb500″ da_disable_devices=\u00a0\u00bboff|off|off\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_blur_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb40px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_spread_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb disabled=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb collapsed=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb da_is_popup=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_exit_intent=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_has_close=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb da_alt_close=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_dark_close=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_not_modal=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb da_is_singular=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_with_loader=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_has_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb gutter_width=\u00a0\u00bb1″ make_equal=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb disabled_on=\u00a0\u00bboff|off|off\u00a0\u00bb admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbHeaders\u00a0\u00bb module_id=\u00a0\u00bbTIW\u00a0\u00bb module_class=\u00a0\u00bbdfc-tiwt\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#FFFFFF\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb100%\u00a0\u00bb module_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00a0\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb500″ locked=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb collapsed=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ module_class=\u00a0\u00bbdfc-tiwt\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbPEER SUPPORT TRAINING: CURRICULUM OVERVIEW\u00a0\u00bb module_class=\u00a0\u00bbh2–section\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb header_2_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb46px\u00a0\u00bb background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#ffffff\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb2rem|2rem|2rem|2rem|true|false\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Attendees will be taught concepts and skills to help them improve their ability to recognize and respond to signs of stress and trauma in self and others, and to manage the crucial transition between \u201chome mode\u201d and \u201cresponder mode.\u201d Experiential learning will focus on two primary areas: development of supportive communication skills and styles, and strategies for calming the body and mind at work, at home, and during peer support interactions.\u00a0Because\u00a0public safety personnel usually want to \u201cknow the why,\u201d we emphasize the scientific rationale and practical value of each aspect of the experiential training. As attendees will be representing different peer support \u201chome teams,\u201d the program also includes materials and take-away messaging to aid knowledge transfer activities.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00a0\u00bb1″ disabled_on=\u00a0\u00bbon|on|on\u00a0\u00bb admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbCURRICULUM OVERVIEW\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0″ background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#9E1723″ background_color_gradient_start=\u00a0\u00bbrgba(51,51,51,0.74)\u00a0\u00bb background_color_gradient_end=\u00a0\u00bb#000000″ background_enable_image=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb parallax=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb inner_width_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb50px\u00a0\u00bb inner_max_width_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb50px\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0px||12px||false|false\u00a0\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb500″ da_disable_devices=\u00a0\u00bboff|off|off\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_blur_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb40px\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow_spread_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb disabled=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb collapsed=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb da_is_popup=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_exit_intent=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_has_close=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb da_alt_close=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_dark_close=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_not_modal=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb da_is_singular=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_with_loader=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb da_has_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb gutter_width=\u00a0\u00bb1″ make_equal=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb disabled_on=\u00a0\u00bboff|off|off\u00a0\u00bb admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbHeaders\u00a0\u00bb module_id=\u00a0\u00bbTIW\u00a0\u00bb module_class=\u00a0\u00bbdfc-tiwt\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#FFFFFF\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb100%\u00a0\u00bb module_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00a0\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb500″ locked=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb collapsed=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ module_class=\u00a0\u00bbdfc-tiwt\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbPEER SUPPORT TRAINING: CURRICULUM OVERVIEW\u00a0\u00bb module_class=\u00a0\u00bbh2–section\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb header_2_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb46px\u00a0\u00bb background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#ffffff\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb2rem|2rem|2rem|2rem|true|false\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

SUPPORTIVE COMMUNICATION: PRINCIPLES<\/h3>\n
We, as humans, have a tendency to feel that our experiences are so personal that other people would misunderstand or judge us for our feelings or reactions if they were known. Often, this is especially the case for first responders, who have been trained to be strong and unwavering in the face of a crisis or emergency. Being emotionally affected by a call or a crisis can seen as a weakness, as something to hide or feel ashamed of. (\u201cWhat is wrong with me\u201d? \u201cWhy is this so hard for me\u201d? \u201cAm I broken?\u201d) The crucial role of peer support is to be present with others when they are experiencing these hard emotions. Normalizing a peer\u2019s experience by listening empathetically and non-judgmentally is a powerful antidote to the self-criticism and fear he or she may be experiencing. While the reactions and emotions a person experiences following a crisis are difficult, being alone in them and thinking that nobody understands is far worse. When done well, peer support creates feelings of connectedness and belonging in the wake of a crisis.<\/p>\n

UNDERSTANDING CHRONIC STRESS<\/h3>\n
Operational stress is unavoidable for first responders. Understanding how stress affects our bodies, brains, and relationships increases self- and other-awareness in peer supporters, and enhances their ability to respond effectively to colleagues. We emphasize the importance of understanding and managing the transition between \u201cresponder mode\u201d and \u201chome mode,\u201d and present on related concepts including the:<\/p>\n

NEUROBIOLOGY OF TRAUMA AND OPERATIONAL STRESS<\/h3>\n
We present an overview of the neurobiology of the human stress response, emphasizing the functions of the limbic system and the cortex during and after threatening events, and the role of the autonomic nervous system (which is comprised of the sympathetic nervous system [SNS] and the parasympathetic nervous system [PNS]) in regulating our physiological responses to threat cues. These ideas allow participants to better understand how and why self-regulation strategies work.<\/p>\n

PERSONAL RESILIENCY STRATEGIES FOR THE PEER SUPPORTER<\/h3>\n
In this module, we return to many of the ideas presented earlier in the program \u2013 e.g., home mode versus responder mode, the window of tolerance, the physiology of stress and trauma \u2013 and discuss how they can be used to motivate and refine the development of personal resiliency strategies.

RESPONDING TO SEVERE DISTRESS AND SUICIDALITY AS A PEER SUPPORTER<\/h3>\n
Peer supporters may encounter individuals who are experiencing a high level of distress, with strong emotions of sadness, anger, fear, and sometimes hopelessness about the future. In this section of the program, participants discuss the role and the limits of responsibility of peer supporters in assessing and managing suicidality.<\/p>\n

SUPPORTIVE COMMUNICATION: EXPERIENTIAL SKILLS PRACTICE<\/h3>\n
We offer training and coaching in effective, empathic, other-focused peer support communication skills. Participants will learn to avoid common traps that interfere with good listening, such as:<\/p>\n
\n- The desire to fix\/ provide a solution\/ give unsolicited advice<\/li>\n
- The urge to share personal experiences to the extent that it takes away from the other person\u2019s attempts be heard and understood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Getting distracted by our own judgments, memories, or feelings, or by things going on in the environment, which can lead to a sense that the peer supporter is inattentive or \u201cnot really getting it\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants will also be taught specific skills (e.g., reflection, paraphrasing, open-ended questioning) they can practice as they hone their individualized supportive communication styles.<\/p>\n

Certain kinds of calls or cases have the power to disturb even the most resilient of us, and every first responder has loved ones and a life story that can make him or her feel the impact of certain calls particularly acutely. In this section of the program, we help peer supporters recognize and anticipate situations that have the potential to be problematic for their peers (and for them). We discuss various features and timings of calls that can make them more likely to be emotionally overwhelming. The concepts of moral injury and sanctuary trauma are addressed in the course of this conversation.<\/p>\n
Participants are encouraged to reflect on and share how they and other first responders tend to manage their experiences of bad calls.<\/p>\n

Peer supporters can face roadblocks when trying to link up peers with mental health professionals. This section of training focuses on demystifying mental health treatment (e.g., What happens in therapy? What forms of treatment are available?), clarifying different diagnostic terms, discussing the role of WSIB in facilitating access to treatment, and offering strategies for introducing the idea of professional support to peers who may be reluctant to take that step<\/p>\n

BACKGROUND<\/h1>\n
The Wounded Warriors Canada Peer Support Fundamentals program is designed to help Trauma Exposed Professionals (TExP’s) become confident, capable, well-informed peer supporters, with increased personal resiliency for the rigors of their frontline and peer support roles. The program is intended to benefit both seasoned peer supporters and novices who require a grounding in the fundamentals of peer support. We provide a combination of content-rich education about a variety of relevant topics as well as opportunities for experiential learning. Attendees will learn about concepts that will improve their ability to recognize and respond to signs of stress and trauma in self and others, and to manage the crucial transition between \u00ab\u00a0home mode\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0responder mode.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
The Wounded Warriors Canada Peer Support Fundamentals program aims to provide an engaging and educational training experience, which will ultimately facilitate the growth of each individual and the teams they hail from. Both the educational and experiential components of the program bolster the emotional well-being of the peer supporters in attendance, and encourage the creation of bonds that can create ongoing mutual support. Our goal is to build a feeling of community and support among workshop participants.<\/p>\n
Psychologists and peer support consultants collaborated on the development of the program, and work in tandem to conduct the training.<\/p>\n
Psychologists<\/strong> involved in the training have extensive experience working with first responders, both as front-line clinicians and as peer support trainers.<\/p>\n Peer Support Consultants<\/strong> are individuals who come from first responder careers, who have an abundance of real-world peer support experience, as well as knowledge and understanding of the unique challenges facing peer support teams for first responder services.<\/p>\n Delivery Model: <\/strong>In-person group-based experiential learning environment – normally procured by organizations for both small and large groups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbText\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0″ text_font=\u00a0\u00bbHind|300|||||||\u00a0\u00bb

experience, which will ultimately facilitate the growth of each individual and the teams they hail from. Both the educational and experiential components of the program bolster the emotional well-being of the peer supporters in attendance, and encourage the creation of bonds that can create ongoing mutual support. Our goal is to build a feeling of community and support among workshop participants.<\/p>\n First responders who volunteer to support colleagues in crisis require and deserve specialized training. The unavoidable, cumulative operational stress and trauma absorbed by first responders in the course of their work means that peers often come to them in severe distress. It also means that peer supporters themselves tend to carry heavy loads of past and anticipated workplace trauma. Without proper training and support, first responders risk becoming overburdened by the additional responsibilities and emotional demands of peer support work.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbText\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16″ text_font=\u00a0\u00bbHind|300|||||||\u00a0\u00bb text_text_color=\u00a0\u00bb#FFFFFF\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb24px\u00a0\u00bb header_font=\u00a0\u00bbOswald||||||||\u00a0\u00bb header_text_color=\u00a0\u00bb#fcfcfc\u00a0\u00bb header_2_font=\u00a0\u00bbHind|700||on|||||\u00a0\u00bb header_2_text_align=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb header_2_text_color=\u00a0\u00bb#181a1b\u00a0\u00bb header_2_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb60px\u00a0\u00bb background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#003E5B\u00a0\u00bb background_size=\u00a0\u00bbinitial\u00a0\u00bb background_position=\u00a0\u00bbtop_left\u00a0\u00bb background_repeat=\u00a0\u00bbrepeat\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb85%\u00a0\u00bb max_width_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb max_width_phone=\u00a0\u00bb100%\u00a0\u00bb max_width_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|phone\u00a0\u00bb module_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb38px|30px|36px|30px|false|true\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb20px\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size_phone=\u00a0\u00bb18px\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|phone\u00a0\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb500″ text_text_shadow_style=\u00a0\u00bbpreset2″ use_border_color=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb border_color=\u00a0\u00bb#ffffff\u00a0\u00bb border_style=\u00a0\u00bbsolid\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n The Wounded Warriors Canada peer support training program is designed to help first responders become confident, capable, well-informed peer supporters, with increased personal resiliency for the rigors of their frontline and peer support roles.

reactions if they were known. Often, this is especially the case for first responders, who have been trained to be strong and unwavering in the face of a crisis or emergency. Being emotionally affected by a call or a crisis can seen as a weakness, as something to hide or feel ashamed of. (\u201cWhat is wrong with me\u201d? \u201cWhy is this so hard for me\u201d? \u201cAm I broken?\u201d) The crucial role of peer support is to be present with others when they are experiencing these hard emotions. Normalizing a peer\u2019s experience by listening empathetically and non-judgmentally is a powerful antidote to the self-criticism and fear he or she may be experiencing. While the reactions and emotions a person experiences following a crisis are difficult, being alone in them and thinking that nobody understands is far worse.
