Essential Mental Health Resources for First Responders
NLC-RISC developed this program as an approachable tool to support the mental health and wellbeing of the first responder community. The program was created with all first responders in mind – police, fire, EMS, and dispatch.
Previously a fee-based offering on a state-specific basis, Serve Strong is now available to all our members at no cost.
