Our vision in South Carolina is that no first responder walks alone. SC PeerConnect, developed through the SC Public Safety Wellness Initiative in partnership with First Response Mental Health, provides first responders with proactive, continuous support by connecting them to peer support teams, psychologists, chaplains and mental health professionals. The platform is designed to prevent neglect, reduce the stigma associated with mental health and normalize mental well-being discussions within the community. Additionally, it offers extensive health and wellness resources, self-assessment tools and access to local support teams, ensuring comprehensive care for first responders.
