The purpose of the European Pilot Peer Support Initiative (EPPSI) is to: facilitate communication between stakeholders and interested parties engaged or planning to get engaged in Peer Support Programmes (PSP); exchange of best practices in running and setting up PSP. EPPSI is a not-for profit body.
Background
In early 2016, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) suggested to make PSP mandatory across Europe to ensure they are available in each and every company and every EU Member State, building on best practices from existing programmes.
This is why ESAM, ECA, EAAP and Mayday Foundation set up the European Pilot Peer Support Initiative – EPPSI – to exchange & promote best practices and to facilitate communication between stakeholders engaged in or planning to engage in PSP.
