We offer courses you simply won’t find anyplace else, and our programs are often eligible for continuing education credit towards license renewals in many locations within the United States.

In recognition of the ever-increasing epidemic of first responder suicides, the acknowledgment that many calls for emergency mental health services go poorly served and the deep understanding that organizational psychology and leadership development plays and integral role in protecting first responder mental health and ultimately the publics we created The First Responder Behavioral Health Institute (FRBHI).

In response to the growing need to provide an exceptional educational experience to our first responders in clinical mental health, behavioral based emergencies, organizational development, and clinician directed peer support. We established the First Responder Behavioral Health Institute.
