I was invited by the clinical director to speak to a group of therapists starting to provide clinical services to 1st responders. I talked about my own mental health journey, raised their cultural awareness of the fire service. I also provided some ideas about how to utilize aspects of the fire service culture to assist in providing therapy to their clients and then provided supporting background to additional 1st responder topics that were being delivered by the clinical director.
“Rob, Thank you so much for giving us your time and experience. You helped bring every teaching point “to life “. You also give budding therapists the hope that treatments can and will make a positive impact on our client’s life!”
