Course overview

It's already tough to give first responders what they need. Stigma about being in therapy. Worry about being seen as unfit for duty. The logistics of irregular hours, on-call shifts, and constant exposure to crisis ... It all adds up. But the biggest barrier? Most therapists simply don't understand the world first responders live in. The job. The culture. The pressure to perform -- and keep it all in. And without that understanding, therapy often falls short. This training changes that. Watch Drs. Sarah Stewart-Spencer and Allison Aligata, experts in treating first responders, for this essential training that will give you everything you need to know to effectively treat police officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and more. You'll learn: Techniques to build a strong therapeutic alliance in the context of first responders' adaptive emotional detachment Values interventions to target first responders' black-and-white thinking related to moral injury Strategies that lean into first responders' preference for structure to help them cope with acute and ongoing stress AND MUCH MORE!
