Each peer advocate is a current or former officer who has lived experience of injury or trauma. The network responds by phone, text and email (including 24/7 confidential hot-line) and connects officers and their families to emotional support, referral services (medical, mental-health, benefits) and ongoing follow-up. According to the organization, the peer-advocate team handles 100 contacts per week on average.
