We offer year-round events that help you better understand and assist our first responders. Take a look at some of the upcoming events listed below.
Developing Culturally Competent Counselors in the World of First Responders.
First responders pose unique challenges in the counseling office. However, working with this population can be extremely rewarding as the counselor helps those who help others. Learn how to relate, communicate, identify issues, and treat effectively when working with first responders. Develop an understanding of the cultural differences, learn how to work through them, and experience a feeling of success as you see your first responder clients grow, change, and heal.
