A Safeguard or Health Check has been traditionally offered to first responders, but anyone can benefit from checking in on their mental wellness. It typically involves discussing mental health in four domains of wellness - physical, social, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We also discuss coping strategies, provide education on typical responses to stress or critical incidents, give validation, and discuss available resources. Psychometric tests may be used to evaluate and monitor symptoms, and a referral for therapy could be recommended if additional support is needed.

Workshops & Trainings

Specialized workshops designed for first responders and trauma-exposed professionals. We focus on awareness, regulation, and practical strategies that build resilience, reduce burnout, and support long-term health in work and life.
