Description

First Responder Wellness is a residential and intensive outpatient treatment center that exclusively treats public safety professionals for alcohol, post-traumatic stress, addiction, anxiety, and depression. Since 2018, we have had more than 1,800 public safety professionals attend our long-term program. On The First Responder Wellness Podcast, we sit down with members of our clinical team, organizational leadership, subject matter experts, and alumni who have experienced the program firsthand. Each episode is designed to bring insight, hope, and practical tools to first responders and their families, while shedding light on the unique challenges and resiliency within the public safety community.
