Peer Support Team
The Delaware County Peer Support Team is a multi-discipline team that consists of Dispatchers, Fire, Law Enforcement, Corrections, and EMS. This group of trained first responders provides assistance in times of crisis for public safety personnel. The focus of the group is to minimize the harmful effects of stress, particularly those arising from the crisis. In order to minimize these effects, the group will utilize group incident defusing and debriefings in a confidential environment. The peer team will provide crisis intervention and support with a pathway to professional resources when needed. Additionally, DCEMS utilizes the Cordico App which is available to all Fire and EMS in Delaware County and was provided by the support of the Delaware County Board of Commissions via the Pre-Hospital Care Board.
