ABOUT OUR LOGO

The colors on the lighthouse represent first responder discipline colors from top to bottom: dispatchers, police officers, firefighters, EMS, & corrections.

Our mental health education trainings for emergency workers focus on three critical areas:

1. Crisis Intervention for Traumatic/Stressful Life Events Within an Organization: We offer immediate and effective interventions to support employees experiencing acute stress or trauma. Our programs help to stabilize the workplace environment and provide necessary emotional support.

2. On-Site Counselors Following Traumatic/Stressful Life Events Within the Community: Following significant community events, such as natural disasters or incidents of violence, our team of counselors is available to provide on-site support, helping individuals to understand common reactions to the event, process their experiences, and begin moving forward by.

3. Ongoing Interventions for Death and Non-Death Related Traumatic Events: Recognizing that trauma and grief can stem from both death-related and non-death-related events, we offer continuous support to ensure long-term recovery and mental well-being for employees.

By addressing these issues proactively, organizations can foster a healthier work environment, improve employee retention, and reduce absenteeism more effectively.

What Our Clients Say

  • “Both of these training [sessions] were really great. After two years of doing every training virtually, sometimes I find it hard to sustain attention, but I didn’t have any difficulty in either of these trainings given Lisa’s engagement, enthusiasm for the topic, and presentation style. Well done!” e

  • “I attended your workshop on trauma and grief…I have been a social worker for over 30 years and you were able to take this huge and very important topic and break it apart for us and remind us of the importance of the interconnection between trauma and grief. Your slides were carefully thought out and very well done! Thank you for a great presentation.”
