The First Responder Wellness Team
First Responder Wellness is a team of dedicated people with a shared purpose: to support the first responder and public safety community. Our team is composed of culturally competent professionals who have extensive experience working with first responders, families, and public safety agencies. Many of our staff members have even been first responders earlier in their careers, and many have come from first responder and military families.
Every team member at First Responder Wellness upholds the highest standards of integrity. We earn the trust and respect of our clients, community, and agency partners through transparency, security, compliance, privacy, and performance.
