THE INITIAL STAGE OF OUR PROGRAM. 

​

FIRST RESPONDERS SEEKING ASSISTANCE WILL BE INITIALLY CONTACTED BY A FELLOW FIRST RESPONDER WHO WILL HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN CRISIS INTERVENTION.  

 

THESE MENTORS WILL CONTACT THE FIRST RESPONDER AND SEE HOW THE NOT OK PROJECT CAN BETTER ASSIST THEM.  ASSISTANCE CAN BE PROVIDED THROUGH PERSONAL MEETINGS, COUNSELING, OR OUTSIDE PARTNERSHIPS WHICH THE NOT OK PROJECT HAS ESTABLISHED. 

 

(IN-SERVICE TRAINING WILL ONLY BE GRANTED ONCE THE FIRST RESPONDER MEETS WITH COUNSELORS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PROGRAM AND IS EVALUATED OR ENROLLS IN THERAPY SESSIONS WITH LICENSED PROFESSIONALS)

ENGAGES FIRST RESPONDERS WITH CRISIS RESPONSE TRAINING AS WELL AS LOCAL THERAPIST WHO SPECIALIZE IN FIRST RESPONDER TRAUMA.  

​

THE 3 ALARM RESPONSE PROGRAM AIMS TO FOCUS ON WORKING THROUGH ACTIVE TRAUMA THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH TRAINED PROFESSIONALS.  

 

THIS PROGRAM WILL AIM TO STRENGTHEN FIRST RESPONDERS MENTALLY AND PROVIDE A THIRD PARTY THERAPEUTIC RESOLUTION TO ISSUES THEY ARE BATTLING.  

IN-SERVICE TRAINING'S PRIMARY FOCUS WILL BE THROUGH LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO SUPPORT FIRST RESPONDERS AND DONATE SPONSORSHIPS FOR OFFICERS TO COPE WITH THEIR PTSD AND TRAUMA. 

 

STATISTICALLY, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT TREATMENT AND FOLLOW UP AFTER THERAPY, AND OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, REDUCE STRESS AND FURTHER SIDE-EFFECTS OF PTSD.  

 

THESE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITES KEEP THE MIND BUSY AND PTSD SYMPTOMS AT BAY.
