Peer Support Groups

OSI-CAN provides Community-based Peer Support Groups for our target demographic, Military/Veteran members and Public Safety Personnel (Police, Fire Fighters, Paramedics, Corrections, Healthcare). Our groups address the challenges of OSI/PTSI through the neutrality of safe spaces and free, confidential lived-experience support. No diagnosis is required; you can attend to learn more about mental health or to find the support and resources you need. It just takes the courage to attend and find the supports you are looking for.
NOTICE: Hybrid groups offer in-person and online access for each meeting; online groups offer access through Zoom only.
