First Responders We Serve
First Responders do high-stakes work, but rarely access available resources to navigate how they feel if things go wrong or if stress becomes overwhelming. Stigma around mental health treatment, lack of confidentiality, and fear that seeking assistance will affect future career prospects are just a few of the reasons why some may not reach out for help.
This is exactly why VOA|ReST 4 First Responders was created. Our sessions give First Responders a place to support their peers in a private, worry-free environment. First Responders from various agencies across the U.S. are invited to attend, including:
- Firefighters
- Police Officers
- Emergency Department Staff
- EMTs
- Paramedics
- Emergency Dispatchers
- First Responder & Hospital Chaplains
