Preamble

Frost Peer Group is a program for First Responders affected by a traumatic experience or experiences they believe causes them continuing distress. It encompasses histories like military combat, Law Enforcrment, Fire, EMS, Correctional Officers and Emergnecy Dispatchers.  We welcome those who feel their experience may sound trivial or “not traumatic enough”. We have no required minimum for what qualifies as traumatic enough for one to be here. Nor is formal diagnosis from a mental health professional  required. The only requirement for  attendance is the desire to recover from an event or events perceived as traumatic to the individual.

We recognize simple, partial, and chronic or complex PTSD. 

We encourage members to create a recovery network beyond just this group. For some of us this may include but not be limited to psychotherapy; if this path is pursued we advise finding someone with trauma-specific training. For those who have misgivings about how a Twelve-Step model gets applied to PTSD we can provide you with various resources for additional reading, some of which are free online.
