Operational Peer Support (OPS)
Effective peer support begins with trusted, well-prepared peers and an organizational culture that makes support accessible. Designed for high-risk, high-accountability environments, Operational Peer Support (OPS) combines evidence-informed training with organizational consulting to help public safety, corrections, military, and veteran-serving organizations build, strengthen, and sustain effective peer support programs.
Grounded in the HEARD Framework (Human Access, Empowerment, Action, Relational Trust, and Dialogue), OPS develops the practical skills and relationships necessary to build trust, engage in intentional dialogue, recognize readiness, and help individuals navigate available support.
Experience That Extends Beyond Training
OPS is informed by nearly 20 years of peer support experience from Eagle Eye's founder, spanning direct service, training, program leadership, and organizational development. This includes supporting more than 300 individual cases, leading a team of 24 peer support professionals working in high-risk environments, including suicide prevention, and contributing to the development and delivery of peer support training for military-focused initiatives within corrections, state law enforcement, and nonprofit organizations serving service members, veterans, and their families.
Flexible Peer Support Solutions
Eagle Eye offers standalone OPS training, integrated Beyond the Badge and OPS training, ongoing training and implementation support, and comprehensive program design, development, training, and implementation. Each engagement is tailored to the organization's mission, culture, and operational needs.

Eagle Eye Consulting & Training is proud to partner with Dr. Beverly Prestwood-Taylor to offer a workshop on moral injury. Moral injury refers to the emotional and spiritual wounds that occur when individuals, such as combat veterans, are placed in situations where they either violate their own moral code or witness others doing so under difficult circumstances. This experience is not limited to veterans; professionals such as healthcare workers, teachers, firefighters, and police officers may also experience moral injury. In this workshop, we will explore how moral injury occurs and discuss various pathways for healing and recovery.

Understanding Military Culture, BattleMind, & Veteran Response
Beyond Their Service is a four-hour, interactive training designed to help public safety professionals better understand and respond to veterans they may encounter in the community, workplace, or within their own organizations.
The program explores military culture and acculturation, how military training and BattleMind adaptations may continue to influence behavior after service, and the parallels between military and public safety cultures.
Participants move from cultural understanding into practical application, including identifying veteran status, interpreting behaviors in context, communicating and de-escalating more effectively, considering firearms and other safety factors, engaging families and trusted supports, and navigating veteran-specific resources.
The training also addresses the unique considerations involved in supporting fellow officers who are veterans and introduces the SAFER framework, providing participants with a practical approach to recognizing concerns, assessing immediate safety, facilitating de-escalation, engaging veterans, and connecting them with appropriate resources and follow-up.

Building Trust. Strengthening Connection. Supporting Those Who Serve.
Operational Peer Support (OPS) is an interactive, evidence-informed training program designed to strengthen the ability of public safety professionals to provide meaningful, practical peer support within high-risk, high-accountability environments.
Moving beyond traditional approaches to peer support, OPS emphasizes the relational skills, intentional dialogue, and practical strategies needed to build trust, recognize emerging concerns, and engage colleagues before challenges escalate.
Through facilitated discussion, experiential exercises, and realistic scenarios, participants explore the foundations of effective peer support, including operational and relational trust, active listening, purposeful dialogue, readiness for change, and navigating individuals toward appropriate support and resources.
The training introduces practical frameworks and tools to help participants move from simply being available to becoming accessible, trusted sources of support. Emphasis is placed on strengthening peer relationships, respecting individual autonomy, recognizing the boundaries of the peer role, and supporting meaningful action.
OPS equips participants with the skills to move beyond offering support to creating the conditions where support can be accessed, accepted, and sustained.
