For First Responders
First Responders face extraordinary pressures.
Firefighters, law-enforcement, and medical responders deal with:
​
-
The 6-8% of the population that causes the vast majority of societal issues.
-
Traumatic and horrific situations that cannot be ‘unseen’.
-
Compounding stress of traumatic situations over time and the span of a career.
-
Increasing pressures due to COVID-19 and increasing public sentiment.
-
Increasing negative public sentiment.
Dealing daily with loss and suffering and expecting not to be affected by it,
is about the same as walking through water and expecting to not get wet.
What we offer are incredibly effective and simple tools that radically improve a first responder's well-being.
