Today we paused long enough to get (most) everyone in the same room.

Group photos. Coffee in hand. Real conversations.

We spent time talking about how we serve first responders across ranks, facilities, and departments — and what it truly means to provide excellent care in our community. Not surface-level care. Not checkbox care. But culturally competent, trauma-informed, direct, grounded work that honors the weight these men and women carry.

When you treat first responders, you don’t just treat “stress.”
You treat cumulative trauma. Moral injury. Shift work. Divorce. Sleep deprivation. The culture. The pride. The silence. The loyalty. The fear of being seen as weak.

We talked about confidentiality. Trust. Language. What actually helps. What doesn’t.

And I sat there looking around that room thinking — this is what building something from the ground up was for.

A team of clinicians who care deeply about doing it right.
Who challenge each other.
Who want to understand ranks and facilities and politics and family systems — because that context matters.

We are incredibly honored to walk alongside the first responders, service members, and families who trust us. That trust is not taken lightly.

This community has allowed Sacred Self to grow because you believe in the work. And we’re committed to continuing to raise the standard of care.

It was a good day.
