Modelled on a concept used with great success by the Federal Bureau of Investigation since 1985, NCLEAP provides a 3 day, peer-led, Post Critical Incident Seminar used to mitigate the impact of critical incident stress.
​
Participants will not only explore opportunities for sharing their stories, but will also receive education on trauma, relationships, patterns of resolution, and field-tested strategies, all in a non-threatening environment with the goal of promoting recovery and resilience.
​
Fellow first responders who have received Peer Support training, and who have a shared experience of having been involved in a critical incident, come alongside of participants to assist them in navigating this learning experience.
