Mental Health First Aid for First Responders

Hosted by

Charlena D. Sears

We are offering mental health first aid to first responders and frontline workers at a reduced cost at our Montclair location: 460 Bloomfield Avenue. Mental health first aid is an intervention model used to facilitate psychological closure and reconstruction following exposure to a traumatic event. Goals are to stabilize, normalize, restore adaptive functioning, and identify individuals/groups who may need additional help. The goal is to intervene quickly to stop the symptoms from becoming entrenched. "It's not the stress that kills us, it's our reaction to it." (Hans Seyle)
