SPECIAL EDITION: A Proactive Peer Support System First Responders Can Trust

What if peer support in your agency didn’t depend on chance, availability, or who happened to answer the phone? In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, Conrad Weaver talks with Nik Fiorito of Peer Connect about a system designed to make peer support more proactive, more confidential, and more sustainable for first responder agencies. They discuss how Peer Connect helps responders connect with trusted peers, how supervisors can initiate support without crossing confidentiality lines, and why this matters especially for small, rural, and understaffed departments. Nik also explains how agencies are using Peer Connect to reduce burnout among peer supporters, improve follow-up, and create a more consistent support process for their teams. If your department has a peer support team, wants to build one, or is looking for a better way to care for its people after difficult calls, this conversation is worth your time.
