ABOUT PEER SUPPORT
MEET THE TEAM
The Peer Support Team is composed of DOR employees who volunteered to be a part of this vital group. All of the team members attended training in December 2019 to understand how to support their friends, families, and co-workers in times of need. Each team member is committed to helping.
If you need assistance, you can reach out to any one of the peer support members through their direct state email address, their listed work phone number, or the peer support email DOR_Peersupportteam@state.co.us or by phone at 303-866-6570. You do not have to contact a peer support team member who is in your division.
All of the peer support members have their bios listed. Please view the bio page to learn more about the team members. If you reach out to the peer support team via the DOR email or general phone number, a team member will contact you unless you request to speak with a specific member.
The peer support team is available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, excluding holidays and furlough days.
Thank you for letting the peer support members be a part of your life. If you need additional resources, please visit the resources section.
