The Double Edged Sword
October 27, 2017
Join us for this enlightening training that will better equip you with the tools to help your clients from these backgrounds and cultures.
Earn 3 CEU's!
First Responder husbands, wives, children and extended family are impacted by the jobs of their first responder. Oftentimes this impact is adverse and overlooked even by the first responder themselves. With PTSD, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and suicide at extremely high rates the first responder family is left without the necessary skills and support needed to understand the comprehensive nature of the occupations of their loved ones. Many mental health professionals do not understand or have knowledge of the idiosyncrasies of these cultures.
BONUS ... First Responder & Spouse Presentations
Attend as a stand alone or use it to apply towards the "First Responder Intervention Specialist Level 1" that we offer!
