First responders and public safety employees frequently encounter intense, high-stress situations—witnessing accidents, severe injuries, violence, and death.
Over time, these experiences can deeply affect their mental and emotional well-being, often without them realizing it. The cumulative impact can strain their health, relationships, and overall quality of life, yet many feel they must cope alone.
Our proactive wellness checks provide your team with the insights and tools to manage stress effectively.
These annual mental health check-ins empower your employees to maintain emotional resilience, improving their overall well-being and helping them recognize when they might need further support.
Our culturally competent wellness consultations offer a confidential, 60-minute session designed to support your public safety employees.
These consultations provide tools and strategies to help manage stress and trauma, fostering resilience and improving overall quality of life. During the session, employees can openly discuss behavioral health concerns, learn coping mechanisms, and explore ways to enhance their well-being.
Wellness checks are distinct from traditional therapy or psychological evaluations. They are not designed to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, nor are they meant to assess an employee’s fitness for duty. Instead, these consultations focus on providing support and strategies for managing stress and enhancing well-being.
There is no development of treatment plans or clinical diagnoses during these sessions, ensuring that they remain a non-judgmental space focused solely on empowering employees with the tools they need for resilience.
Ensure your emergency response workers receive the care they deserve from licensed mental health professionals who understand the unique challenges they face. With years of experience working with first responders in Maine, our culturally competent therapists follow national best practices.
