First Responder Services
As a first responder, you commit your career to serving and protecting others, yet prioritizing your own mental well-being is equally essential. Our First Responder Services are specifically designed to support individuals across a wide range of roles, as well as their loved ones too. We recognize the unique stressors, challenges, and workplace culture that come with this line of work, and tailor our approach accordingly. These services parallel the individual counseling, couples counseling, and periodic group therapy we offer to the general public, but are adapted to address the distinct needs of first responders.
We proudly support a diverse group of professionals, including police officers; military members and veterans; nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare personnel; firefighters; probation officers and corrections officers; and those in indirect first-responder roles such as emergency dispatchers.
Our First Responder Services are open to all who serve in these capacities. They are delivered by Psychologists, Canadian Certified Counsellors, and Registered Psychotherapists. Services are currently available in English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu.
Services catered towards first responders and first responder families are offered in a variety of ways. Please click on the buttons below for more details.
