FIRST RESPONDER SUPPORT
Anew Day is proud to be able to offer specialized mental health support that is uniquely tailored towards first responders. Because of contributions to the First Responder Support Fund, Anew Day is able provide support to our local first responders, specializing in trauma-informed therapeutic care. One such form is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR therapy is one of the most effective therapies in decreasing the level of disturbance still experienced related to past incidents.
One method of EMDR for recent traumatic events (usually only requiring several sessions) has been shown to reduce the chances of developing post-traumatic stress symptoms by 85-90% if used within the first couple of months after an incident. As you can imagine, this can be a significant help to first responders who are exposed to far more traumatic incidents than the general public. Our first responders give a lot of themselves, and they have earned our gratitude and support. Whether the concern is work-related, family-related, or something else, our goal at Anew Day is to be able to continue supporting our local first responders as they continue showing up for us.
