FRD provides counseling and group therapy from therapists trained in the unique aspects of first responder work such as the impact of burnout, compassion fatigue, post traumatic stress, and exposure to traumatic events as part of the job. Having to be hypervigilant for the majority of your day can wear on your mind, body, and family relationships. FRWG counselors work to help you restore your mental health and relationships through both preventative and reactive work with modalities such as EMDR.

First responders face unique challenges in their field of work. The curriculum we develop is specific to these challenges. Through research and education provided by first responders in the field, FRD brings tangible wellness education to precincts, firehouses, EMS academies, community leaders, and more to provide awareness and mental health trauma prevention strategies. We are currently working toward POST certification for our curriculum and we will tailor education and workshops to your department’s specific needs.

FRD partners with organizations to provide volunteers for events that assist first responders and other outreach opportunities. Living the vision of building relationships, advocacy, and support of first responders, FRWG members can help.
