Peer support recognizes these risks and provides a lifeline to brothers and sisters navigating the complexities of our profession.
  

  Curriculum Includes How To:

  

  • Approach a brother or sister of concern
  • Establish trust and confidentiality
  • Provide support
  • Determine whether a crisis is developing
