Local Resources

​

The Local 1619 Peer Support Team maintains a list of vetted, culturally competent, resources. The Local 1619 Peer Support Team aims to ensure that this list is encompassing of as many of our members needs as possible including cultural competency in issues that affect first responders.

This list serves as a tool to aid our members in many issues including:

• Alcohol & substance abuse

• Anger management

• Marital and family issues

• Financial issues

• Grief

• Trauma & PTSD

• Sleep issues

• Inpatent and intensive outpatient programs

• Cancer support

• Sexual assault

• Addiction

• Psychiatric issues

• Chaplaincy

• Suicide

Whatever you may be facing we would be more than willing to help you navigate through that challenge and to connect you with the resources you deserve. We recognize that you may not want to speak with your co-workers about an issue you may be going through. If this is the case, we can connect you to another peer within the IAFF network that is not affiliated with the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department or Local 1619. The bottom line is we want to make sure you get the help you deserve.
