Peer Support Cards

This isn't theory. It's what works-in the moment, on the scene, and after the call.

Peer Support Pocket Cards is a real-world field guide built for law enforcement, fire service, EMS, and dispatch personnel who serve on peer support teams. Each card delivers one practical tool, script, or trauma-informed insight designed to help you support others-and protect your own mental health.

You'll find guidance for:

• Critical incidents like officer-involved shootings, pediatric deaths, and suicides

• Moral injury moments that hit the soul, not just the senses

• Bureaucratic stress, leadership betrayal, and wellness burnout

• Tactical recovery tools including CBT/DBT strategies, grounding, and the Anchor Scent Method

• Family and life stress support, including divorce, parenting guilt, and financial strain

• Line-of-duty death and post-suicide response with emotional fluency

• Peer deployment etiquette and self-care for supporters

Written by a nationally recognized police and public safety psychologist, this book blends cultural credibility with clinical depth-no lectures, just language that works. Whether you're in a patrol car, firehouse, or locker room, these cards offer fast access to real help when the words are hard to find.
