OVERWATCH PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM - NO-COST, INTER-AGENCY 1-1 PEER SUPPORT NETWORK FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, CIVILIAN SUPPORT STAFF OF FIRST RESPONDERS, AND FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE NORTH TEXAS REGION. THE OVERWATCH PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM IS A REGIONAL APPROACH TO PEER SUPPORT. THE OPS PROGRAM BOASTS A NUMBER OF TRAINED PEER SUPPORTERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE FIRST RESPONDER AND HEALTHCARE COMMUNITIES OF NORTH TEXAS. FIRST RESPONDERS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS SEEKING PEER SUPPORT WILL NOW BE ABLE TO UTILIZE RESOURCES NOT JUST FROM THEIR OWN AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION, BUT FROM THE OPS PROGRAM AS WELL. THIS DRASTICALLY INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF PEER SUPPORTERS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM, WHILE ALSO DECREASING CONCERNS OF CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUES RELATED TO TALKING ABOUT THEIR BRAIN HEALTH WITH CO-WORKERS.
