SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH REFERRALS
Substance abuse and mental health concerns are widespread among first responders, and seeking help is a crucial step toward healing.
Our services include confidential referrals to trusted professionals who specialize in substance abuse and mental health support. Committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment, we offer individuals a confidential space to access the help they need.
FITNESS SPONSORHIPS
Physical strength, agility, and endurance are crucial for first responders. These qualities are essential for effectively responding to emergencies, protecting the community, and preserving your mental well-being.
Reps For Responders proudly sponsors first responders each month and offers tailored fitness memberships. From strength and conditioning facilities to CrossFit and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we provide and promote proactive measures to improve physical fitness, combat burnout, reduce injury, and safeguard long-term health.
NUTRITION AND HEALTH COACHING SPONSORSHIPS
Nutrition plays a vital role in enhancing overall quality of life, impacting both our physical and mental health. We proudly sponsor a limited number of first responders each month, offering them personalized nutrition guidance.
Chosen participants gain access to a dedicated nutrition expert who provides tailored programming to help achieve personal goals and enhance physical and emotional wellness. Our partner nutritionists adopt a holistic approach to help you build sustainable habits for long-term success.
Reps For Responders also extends sponsorships for soft tissue massage sessions, acupuncture, and other recovery modalities. Be sure to follow our Instagram account for occasional giveaways!
RESPONDER TALK
ResponderTalk is hosted every Sunday at 7 PM EST via zoom during which time first responders from around the country dial in to connect with one another. Meetings may be topic meetings where we discuss an array of mental and physical health topics, or they may be a speaker meeting featuring experts in various fields pertaining to first responder wellness. We’ve been fortunate to have the following experts join our meeting: Dr. Kevin Gilmartin (Author of Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement: A Guide for Officers and their Families), retired Navy Seal Jeff Nichols, and Dr. Lewis Schlosser (Chief Psychologist, NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police), among others.
Respondertalk is open to all active or retired first responders/military personnel. Please email info@repsforresponders.org to verify that you are active or retired and you will receive the zoom link!
