Description
People in the fields of fire, law enforcement, and EMS have jobs that present positive and negative circumstances. While many helping professionals have the best of intentions to provide services for these individuals, the truth is this is a population that has specialized needs. To do an effective job in helping a first responder, comprehensive training is mission critical. These trainings not only are provided by a licensed therapist, you get continuing education credits and presentations from first responders themselves!
