Need Immediate Help?

Find Support

Sometimes you want to handle something yourself. Sometimes talking to someone helps. Both are okay.

Peer Support

Peer support is other firefighters — trained, but still firefighters. They've been on the calls you've been on. There's no intake, no diagnosis, and no paperwork. You can call about something serious or about something that's just been sitting with you.

  • · You don't have to be in crisis.
  • · You decide how much you say.
  • · They can point you toward a clinician if and when you want one.

Contact method to be confirmed by PFFM before release.
