Exposure therapy is often misunderstood โ€” especially in first responder culture.
It isnโ€™t about being pushed back into trauma.

๐Ÿง Itโ€™s about helping the nervous system safely relearn whatโ€™s over and whatโ€™s not.

Not every approach fits every person, but evidence-based options exist โ€” and many first responders benefit from them when delivered the right way.

๐Ÿ‘‰Learn more about treatment options on the FST5 website fst5.org โ€” visit the Treatment page for all available options.

Save this to revisit or share with someone who might need clarity.

Why New Yearโ€™s Resolutions Fail (and What Actually Works for First Responders).

For first responders, change has to fit into a life thatโ€™s unpredictable, stressful, and demanding.

If your goal only works on โ€œgood days,โ€ it wonโ€™t last.
Whatโ€™s one small change you could make that still works on a bad day?

The holidays can be heavy.
Empty chairs. Names we carry. Calls that donโ€™t fade.

Itโ€™s okay to grieve. Itโ€™s okay to remember.
Just donโ€™t carry it alone.

This season, take care of yourself. ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿšจ Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Trainings โ€” Free for Michigan First Responders & Mental Health Professionals ๐Ÿšจ

Difficult calls donโ€™t end when the scene clears. Many first responders across Michigan have already taken part in CISM training and shared that the tools they learned helped them reset after critical incidents, support their peers more confidently, and feel less alone in the weight this work carries.

These sessions offer practical, evidence-based strategies used nationwide โ€” designed by first responders, clinicians, and behavioral health experts who understand the culture, communication, and challenges that come with the job.

Weโ€™re offering both In-Person and Virtual sessions to fit your schedule and location.

We were proud to participate in the 76th Michigan Fire Service Instructors Association Professional Development Conference in Traverse City โ€” an important annual gathering focused on leadership, training, and the evolving demands of the fire service, including the role of AI in responder education and operations.

Our Support Specialists Jeremy Kurek and Cobey Taylor presented FST5 resources, peer support services, and mental health tools designed specifically for Michiganโ€™s first responders and their families.

They had the opportunity to connect with instructors from across the state, share materials, and highlight how confidential support, culturally competent care, and real peer-to-peer understanding can make all the difference in moments of stress, trauma, and transition.

A huge thank you to MFSIA for hosting another impactful conference, and to every instructor who stopped by the table. Your leadership in training and wellness continues to shape a safer, more resilient fire service for Michigan. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ’ฌ

Together, weโ€™re building stronger frontlines โ€” one conversation at a time.

Getting help shouldnโ€™t feel complicated.

Many first responders tell us the same thing โ€” by the time you work up the energy to reach out, the process of finding the right clinician can feel like another obstacle. Searching directories, playing phone tag, not knowing who truly understands the culture โ€” itโ€™s a lot, especially when youโ€™re already carrying enough.

We created a simple confidential form to take that part off your plate.
โœ” Tell us what youโ€™re looking for
โœ” Share your preferences
โœ” We send back a personalized list of at least three clinicians who meet your criteria - within 48 hours

No directories to scroll. No unanswered calls. No guessing if someone is the right fit.
โžก For first responders and family members
โžก Completely confidential โ€” one person receives and reviews all submissions
โžก No pressure - you choose if you want to reach out

Whether you're:
โ€ข A responder beginning therapy
โ€ข A spouse seeking support for your child
โ€ข A family member needing guidance

Youโ€™re not navigating it alone โ€” weโ€™ll help you make the connection that feels right for you.
