Lennox and Addington County have been recognized nationally for their “It’s OK to not be OK” Corporate Peer Support Program by the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA). L&A County was presented with the 2021 CAMA Willis Award for Innovation in the 20,001-100,000 population category during a Virtual Awards of Excellence Ceremony held Tuesday, May 11, 2021.
In late 2019, the County began working with the existing paramedic peer support program team members, as well as the County’s four Health & Safety Committees to develop a corporate peer support team. The Peer Support Team (PST) provides confidential peer-based debriefings (individually or as a group) to any employees who experience work-related trauma or incidents, as well as during times of other stressful work or personal events.
