The NCIS Peer Support Program maximizes existing agency resources by providing employees with additional options and tools for dealing with personal problems. Annual, as well as monthly recurring training, will ensure current Peer Support Responders, Program Coordinator, and Assistant Program Coordinator maintain skills and current best practices.
