The Safety Forces Support Center provides specialized support focusing on the unique job stressors that law enforcement, fire, EMS and dispatch personnel experience, which can have significant impact on their physical, mental, and emotional health. The highly specialized roster of services and interventions are provided to active and retired first responders and their spouses/partners, and to safety forces departments.
Its training programs are also offered to mental health professionals and chaplains.
While SFSC’s mission is to help any first responder in need, it is limited by resources, providing services primarily in Summit County, Ohio. Service is offered – whenever possible – in the contiguous region of Portage, Stark, Wayne, Medina, and Cuyahoga counties.
