The European Pilot Peer Support Initiative (EPPSI) functions under auspices of the European Cockpit Association (ECA), the European Society of Aerospace Medicine (ESAM) and the European Association for Aviation Psychology (EAAP). The expert group on pilot peer support was founded as a collaboration between ECA, ESAM, EAAP and Stiftung Mayday.
The purpose of EPPSI is to:
- promote best practices, advice and information on PSP and to thereby further optimize flight crew physical and mental fitness during a lifelong career.
- exchange of best practices in running and setting up PSP in aviation;
- facilitate communication between stakeholders and interested parties engaged or planning to get engaged in Peer Support Programmes (PSP);
