The Vegas Strong Resiliency Center is honored to be able to serve and support Southern Nevada first responders (including police officers, dispatchers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, coroners/medical examiners, and the Southern Nevada Health District) with our Responder Wellness Program. Whether you are in law enforcement, fire, EMS, security, emergency communications, a hospital emergency department, or another profession at the frontline of an emergency, the Resiliency Center is here for you and those you love.

Our dedicated Responder Wellness Coordinator organizes and supports an assortment of in-person and virtual trainings concerning trauma recovery, stress, secondary trauma, mental health, substance abuse, resiliency, and other topics of interest to first responders. Any responders in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Laughlin, Mesquite, or other cities in Clark County, Nevada, are invited to utilize the various resources and support systems offered by the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center.

Trainings & Integrative Services

We host and support a variety of online and in-person trainings for first responders, many of which offer strategies for dealing with issues such as secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and stress. The Vegas Strong Resiliency Center is also pleased to make a variety of evidence-based integrative services available at no cost to responders through online platforms. These services are intended to be used in coordination with evidence-based treatment or as a follow-up to treatment, and prior authorization by the Resiliency Center Behavioral Health Coordinator is required.
