A first responder is a person with specialized training who is among the first to arrive and provide assistance and incident resolution. First responders are trained to go into dangerous situations when our survival instinct tells us not to, so they must maintain physical and mental health to continue. We as a community rely on them in those needed emergencies. Due to the high level of stress and uncertainty associated with the position, first responders face unique risks of developing secondary trauma reactions and not even be aware how this can impact their daily life. We at GCCS have specialized training in working with the accumulated stress held in the nervous system that a first responders has to deal with daily.

We work with all first responders, Nurses, EMS, Law Enforcement, Fire Service, Search and Rescue, Doctors, ER personnel.
