Who We Are:
Aftershock Resources exists to ensure that no first responder has to carry the weight of the job alone.
Founded by first responders who understand the realities of the field, we are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health by providing access to peer support, education, and both traditional and nontraditional resources. Through compassion, collaboration, and action, we strive to create a culture where asking for help is a sign of strength, healing is encouraged, and every first responder knows they are seen, supported, and never alone.

Programs
We work to provide access to a range of resources aimed at addressing the unique mental health needs of first responders.
Rapid Deployment
After Critical Incidents
Trained individuals will come to your station or your post, and help you verbally walk through a difficult call. We might even bring snacks.
Educational Presentations
We offer an educational, yet devastating presentation on the current state of mental health in first responders.
Support Groups
Groups are divided by length of time in your career - this will make it easier to relate to each other, and not feel that your trauma is "nothing" in comparison to someone who's been in much longer. A separate group for civilians is also offered. See the schedule here.
Coming Soon:
-Leadership training
-Financial counseling
-Database of trauma-informed counselors
-Fun events
...and more!
