Individual therapy

Group therapy

Why Leverage Our Peer Support Resources?
Stress, depression and suicidal thoughts are just a few of the common issues that affect people in different ways every day. Important signs to look out for include trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, low energy, and feelings of anxiety. The incident rate of PTSD and suicide is five times higher in police officers and dispatchers than in the civilian population.
If these issues or other issues seem to be affecting you, connecting with MassCOP’s Peer Support Program can help. Take the confidential and anonymous Self-Check Quiz to connect with a peer support officer and see how you might
benefit from these available services.
