The why ...as a profession, we are overrepresented for suicide and other mental health conditions.


The reality is that we can do better to protect our people from adverse effects of the career. It is possible to thrive, not just survive.

An overview video from NPSN —  Our mission; To provide quality mental health resources and support to our first-responders and hospital health care professionals...


"so they may live the very best lives possible on, and off duty."

In 2019, Nevada Peer Support Network (NPSN,1) was founded as a 501 (c)(3) for IMPACT, not for profit organization. Since its inception, the goal, ( our B.H.A.G - Big Hairy Audacious Goal ) is to build a Resiliency Campus for First Responders and Health Care professionals.


Our community has lost pillars of health care and first responders professionals to suicide in just the last couple of years — let that statement sink in . . .


NPSN missions and vision is to smash the mental health stigma of getting help early and often. Building mental readiness is a strength and not a weakness. No one ever has an issue sharing that they have Cancer or broke a bone, but when it comes to an injured mind, many are scared to seek the resources essential to healing that organ under the skull. This no longer needs to be the case with integrated mind-body modalities that support and integrate with everyday physical wellness.
