cord-339830-7om9ajev	Fisher, Edwin B	COVID-19, stress, trauma, and peer support—observations from the field	2020-06-22		.txt	text/plain	1618	85	52	in this issue [13] , reports on a set of versatile telephone peer support services for police-Cop2Cop, veterans-Vet2Vet, child protection workers-Worker2Worker, caregivers of those with dementia-Care2Caregivers, and mothers of children with special needs-Mom2Mom. As it was going to press, we had the opportunity (April 24, 2020) to talk about the impacts of COVID-19 with peer support workers from three of these, Mom2Mom, Worker2Worker, and Cop2Cop. Here, we present key points that emerged. Especially among police, peer support workers described their callers getting through this difficult period by trying to "keep doing their business … keeping their minds busy" and "trying not to think about COVID-19 too much." Experience with first responders in 9/11, however, presages increased emotional distress approximately 6 months after the end of the acute pandemic. Peer support workers noted it is both important but also difficult to help people focus on the immediate priority of their families' health rather than being too concerned about productivity, school progression, or behavioral or psychological progression.	./cache/cord-339830-7om9ajev.txt	./txt/cord-339830-7om9ajev.txt
