Program Description:
Often what firefighters want and need is the support and guidance of one of their “brothers,” and we offer this through our peer support program. One way is through our monthly On the Arm Breakfast. The firehouse style kitchen provides a comfortable atmosphere for peers to connect with one another. Topics such as balancing family life, retirement, financial difficulties and stresses of the job are common topics between peers in the kitchen.
