Responder Life in partnership with Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office invite you to join them at the Northwest Peer Support Conference, an annual gathering of first responders, mental health professionals, and chaplains involved in the behavioral health, wellness, and peer support initiatives in their public safety agencies.
The training is intended to educate members/partners of peer support teams in various crisis related issues. The conference promotes the health and well-being of our emergency responders. It will equip those who provide confidential support and assistance to our peers and their families when they are experiencing emotional, psychological, or spiritual distress due to critical work-related or personal events.

The scholarship will cover the cost of registration ($199) which includes lunch at the pre-conference and both conference days. Preference will be given to those traveling 50+ miles and who represent rural/smaller agencies. However, anyone with demonstrated financial need is encouraged to apply.

For most of us, this is the worst day of our lives. For the first responder, it is something they live every day of their lives.
