Attachment 1

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) USCIS secures America’s promise as a nation of immigrants by granting immigration and citizenship benefits, promoting an awareness and understanding of citizenship, and ensuring the integrity of the immigration system.

The USCIS workforce of ~16,000 federal employees are found working at 223 offices across the world. Achieving agency goals becomes possible when the different elements of the organization are engaged and act as partners working toward a common outcome. In order to accomplish its mission, the USCIS workforce must maintain a high level of psychological wellness. Studies show that an effective strategy to assist in the mental readiness and psychological wellness of an agency is the presence and deployment of a peer support program. A peer support program, composed of specially trained USCIS employees, provides a support response model capable of providing timely, private, and personal assistance to employees and is a source of preventive maintenance.

A peer support program will strengthen the capacity for coping, increase workplace productivity of the USCIS, and contribute to a trusting workplace climate. Trained volunteers will ensure a qualified cadre of volunteers to assist USCIS in enhancing and maintaining a productive and healthy workforce focused on its mission. This function does not replace, but augments existing crisis response capabilities of the USCIS EAP.
