HealthyMinds offers to organizations a wide range of services to help first responders maintain wellness and work-life balance. Our programs help organizations optimize performance and increase productivity. Individually tailored First Responder and Family Assistance Programs include individual counseling sessions for employees and family members to address a broad range of stressors and maintain balance.
Our First Responder and Family Assistance Programs also include services to the organization at times of crisis due to critical incidents and organizational change management. Finally, we also offer a full range of trainings and presentations on general and specific topics that enhance individual and workplace wellness and function.
Guided by the first responder provider, annual offsite, confidential individual consultation “check-ins” provide personnel the opportunity to jointly assess work-life balance as it relates specifically to the unique nature of the “working personality” and “working identity” required in the emergency services career. Individual life management skills are promoted to aid in personnel wellness and healthy adjustment to a career involving accumulated vicarious trauma.
