ILLINOIS FIRE FIGHTER PEER SUPPORT'S (ILFFPS) MISSION IS TO RECONGNIZE THAT ALL FIRE SERVICE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE MEMBERS ARE HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILL BE EXPOSED TO AND EXPERIENCE EMOTIONS. ILFFPS WILL PROVIDE A SAFE, NON-JUDGMENTAL AND CONFIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE MEMBERS CAN ENGAGE IN A HEALING CONVERSATION WITH A PEER. ILFFPS ALSO SEEKS TO SHARE THE CONCEPT OF PEER SUPPORT AND THE STRUCTURE OF OUR PROGRAM WITH THOSE WHO INQUIRE.
