First Responders Wellness Program
Helping those who help others.
First Responders are at a greater risk for trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, substance misuse and other challenging life-changing conditions. Our First Responder Wellness Program brings services directly to those who need them most — helping to reduce the risks associated with a stressful job and effectively managing stressors as they arise.
Services that encourage your employees to reach out for the confidential, competent support they deserve.
They serve, you support. First Responders selflessly put their lives on the line to protect and serve others. It can take a toll on their professional and personal life. And asking for help is sometimes not easy.
Our goal is to support individuals so they can build resiliency, guard against burnout, perform at their best and live a healthy life.
Customized first responder health and wellness services
This year, suicide has taken the lives of more than 140 police officers. In fact, firefighters and police officers are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. These are staggering statistics and ones that their employers are working to address and reduce. As first responders seek ways to manage job stress and trauma, many self-medicate with alcohol or engage in other self-destructive behaviors. We offer personalized services built for first responders to help them manage stress, reduce mental and emotional conditions and recover from traumatic experiences. Our services include:
- Alcohol or drug dependency treatment.
- An extensive suite of work/life resources and management consultation services.
- Mental health counseling for work-related trauma, stress, depression and anxiety.

How a wellness program helps first responders.
Employers want the best for their employees — they have a vested interest in their health and well-being.
A confidential, complete Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps employees manage work and personal issues that affect their ability to perform at their best. Distractions such as work-related stress, legal and financial issues, substance misuse and family concerns are distractions that hurt productivity and drive up costs.
An EAP is a cost-effective program to help reduce:
- Absenteeism
- Workers’ compensation claims
- Health care costs
