Who Are First Responders?
In essence, "first responders" or "emergency services personnel" are those professionals who are first at the scene of a crisis, crime, disaster, medical trauma, or any other reason you might call 9-1-1. Some people include crisis counselors in this category as well. I've had the honor to work with EMTs, firefighters, law enforcement, and ER staff over the course of my career, and worked side-by-side with crisis counselors as well.
Wellness for First Responders
- Are you stressed? Burned out? Depressed? Or just plain numb to the job you used to love?
- Are you having trouble with relationships - your significant other, or your colleagues?
- Are your experiences occupying more mind space than you want?
- Are you being forced to face the dreaded F-word... Feelings?
I can help. I have been working with emergency services personnel since 2002, and offer confidential one-to-one services, group counseling, consultations, as well as wellness workshops and presentations.
Confidentiality is of the highest importance. For that reason, I don't do fitness-for-duty evaluations, and I do not do mandated appointments.
