Peer Crisis Support Training
You don't need to be a professional to make a difference.
You need to be prepared.
Crisis doesn't happen in isolation, and most people in distress don't turn first to professionals. They turn to someone they trust. LEADER equips you to be that person.
The LEADER Framework
Built around the full crisis management cycle.
Prevention & Recognition
Learn to identify the precursors to crisis before they escalate - and understand the warning signs that matter.
Intervention
Communicate effectively in high-stress situations. Stabilize and support individuals in distress with confidence and compassion.
Postvention & Reintegration
Support doesn't end when the acute crisis does. Learn how to foster long-term resilience and guide people back to stability.
Ethical Boundaries
Understand your role, your limits, and how to act with purpose while maintaining the boundaries that protect everyone involved.
Who This Is For
Anyone positioned to support others.
LEADER was designed for leaders, peers, chaplains, mentors, and paraprofessionals - anyone who may find themselves as the first trusted point of contact when someone is struggling.
