Training

---

 First Responders are trained to respond to natural disasters, medical emergencies, fires and crimes.   They are routinely exposed to traumatic events in the course of their duties. Psychological trauma in the form of acute stress (short periods of high levels of stress) and chronic stress (prolonged periods of stress) is an occupational hazard routinely faced by First Responders. Stressed and burned out workers are more likely to be unhealthy, poorly motivated, and less productive.    
Our Program Objectives:

1. Educate participants on how to identify signs of common issues affecting first responders.
2. Provide relief from the effects of cumulative stress and trauma with our ReFraming Therapy evidence based process.
3. Equip participants with  POWER strategies for promoting self-care and countering these harmful effects in the future.   

The Resiliency P.O.W.E.R.  Program for First Responders can be adjusted to meet the needs of each individual agency, department, or hospital.
