When the going gets tough for New York's EMS workers, the tough finally have someplace to go. How the Program Works Eighteen members of the Peer Support Team work throughout the city's five boroughs. The team members, who are all volunteers, have taken part in a comprehensive training program and ongoing training at monthly meetings. Local 2507 and team members spread the word about the program by distributing brochures where EMTs and paramedics work and by discussing the program with co-workers. EMS staff can call any team member to discuss any personal or work-related problem.
