You can easily add individual seats to The Peer Team tier at any time. Add-on seats maintain full access to the portal, microcredentials, and badging system while keeping all your personnel centralized under your agency’s Director Dashboard. For larger multi-station or department-wide rollouts, reach out directly for custom agency pricing.

Yes. While credit cards can be processed instantly through the portal, we routinely work with city, county, and state procurement offices. We accept municipal purchase orders, Net-30 payment terms, provide prompt W-9s and vendor registrations, and can furnish sole-source justification letters to expedite board or council approval.

Absolutely. The Forge’s clinician-backed, structured microcredential and peer training model aligns cleanly with most first responder mental health, wellness, and post-critical incident grant initiatives. We can provide itemized proposals and scope-of-work documentation tailored to meet your grant’s specific reporting requirements. Fill out the form to set up a meeting and work out the details!

Every annual membership includes the physical Forge tactical kit (1 kit with The Lone Peer or Clinician tier; 5 kits with The Peer Team tier). These rugged cases contain leather embossed binders to collect peer team resources, challenge coins, The Forge Swag Peer Shirts, and Peer Team Identifier Lanyards.

Monthly subscriptions can be canceled or adjusted at any time with no long-term lock-in. If an individual peer transitions out of their role or your department expands, your coordinator can reassign seat licenses directly inside the dashboard to ensure training continuity without paying twice.

Yes. Through the Coordinator & Director Dashboard, leadership has real-time visibility into exact course progress, completion timestamps, and active credentials. Peer and Habit badges are tracked individually, giving your agency defensible documentation of trained capabilities for incident response and departmental compliance.

Because operational credibility and frontline culture matter, we do not grant immediate clinical access through open checkout. All interested practitioners undergo a formal vetting process that includes a quick digital application and a direct interview with our clinical leadership team. This ensures every licensed provider inside The Forge understands the operational realities, ethical standards, and cultural nuances required to effectively support front line personnel. Cultural competence is a two-way street. We ensure every clinician in this portal isn’t just theoretically trained, but operationally minded: humble enough to learn from the lived experience of peers, and skilled enough to deliver meaningful clinical backing.

The standard Clinician membership includes licensure to use The Forge tools and frameworks in direct 1-on-1 client sessions. For clinicians who want to deliver, facilitate, or teach our curriculum to frontline agencies in group settings or department-wide contracts, we offer extended agency training licenses. Eligibility for this expanded licensure is considered after a clinician has actively engaged, trained, and interacted within The Forge ecosystem for a minimum of one full year.

If you are employed by or contracted directly with a specific department, let us know and we'll give you an Internal Agency Teaching License to facilitate and train The Forge curriculum to that agency’s personnel. This agreement authorizes you to deliver the materials exclusively within your designated department. If you eventually wish to consult, teach, or deliver The Forge to external agencies or across multiple departments, an expanded Multi-Agency Training License is required (available after one year of active participation in The Forge ecosystem).

It isn't about red tape or exclusivity—it is about protecting frontline personnel and preserving the integrity of the work. Too many frontline professionals have sat across from well-meaning counselors who broke down crying during a debrief, gave textbook advice that doesn't fit the realities of the job, or worse, told an operator they "weren't cut out for the job" simply because they experienced a normal human reaction to abnormal, cumulative trauma. When a clinician lacks cultural competence, they don't just fail to help—they cause real harm and permanently burn the bridge between frontline teams and clinical care. We vet every practitioner thoroughly so when our peers connect with a clinician inside The Forge, they are dealing with a grounded, operationally minded professional who can carry the weight of the room without flinching.
