Peer Supporter Training Testimonial – O. G.

The role-playing really helped out, and I feel like it was an important part of learning how to be a peer supporter. It was a little bit of an uncomfortable subject on dealing with peers who are suicidal, but I am optimistic that with continued practice, it will get easier.

V. A.

Peer Supporter Training Testimonial – V. A.

This training is true to correctional officer needs to help them get through obstacles they are facing at work or in their home life. It seems that we (Correctional Officers) are pushed to the back about our feelings, and it feels good to know there is help and training for the jobs we have to endure day in and day out. Desert Waters, thanks for the training and the future looks bright.

I was skeptical at first of both the CF2F and Peer Support. But after the CF2F class it seemed to be like waking from a dream. I saw so many of my coworkers who are far gone into the fatigue and in desperate need of peer support. I am excited to help them.
