After Action

After Action supports first responders with PTSD awareness, mental health resources, and treatment options.

Dedicated to police, firefighters, EMTs, corrections, and border patrol. Together, we can break the stigma and build resilience.

It’s not that help doesn’t exist.
It’s knowing who to trust.

Tomorrow we’re hosting a live conversation for first responders, agency leaders, peer support teams, HR, and EAP professionals.

Chris, Doug, and Raul will speak openly from lived experience about what they encountered when trying to get help themselves — what felt safe, what raised red flags, and what actually made a difference.

This is not a training or a sales presentation.
It’s an honest discussion about trust, culture, and outcomes — and how to evaluate treatment programs responsibly.

🗓 Tomorrow
⏰ 11 AM PST | 2 PM EST
📍 Live via LinkedIn & YouTube

One year after Doug survived a su***de attempt, he was named Officer of the Year.

He doesn’t share this story for the title.
He shares it to remind first responders of something many are afraid to believe:

Getting help doesn’t ruin your career. It can save it.

At After Action, we work with first responders every day who worry that speaking up will cost them everything. This story exists to say: help is not the end — it’s often the beginning.

If you or someone you serve is struggling, support is available.

Su***de prevention doesn’t start at the crisis line — it starts long before it.

Canada recently announced renewed federal funding to make their 9-8-8 Su***de Crisis Helpline permanent. That’s not extra. That’s baseline support.

Crisis lines save lives in the moment. Long-term, trauma-informed care helps prevent people from reaching that moment in the first place.

At After Action, we work with first responders carrying cumulative trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use — often alongside suicidal thoughts. Our role is to provide consistent, specialized support so fewer lives reach the breaking point.

Permanent trauma requires permanent support — across the entire continuum of care.

If you or someone you love needs immediate support, 9-8-8 is available 24/7.

A lot of first responders hesitate to reach out because they think calling means committing to treatment.

It doesn’t.

You can call, ask questions, and get clear answers — confidentially and without pressure.

If treatment is the right next step, we help you enter care privately and on your terms.

Available 24/7.

In this clip, Doug shares a moment many agencies never see — the reality of being suicidal and still worrying about losing your job.

This is the help gap.

When trauma and stress overload the brain, logic doesn’t apply. You don’t think clearly. You don’t make sense. And you shouldn’t be expected to.

Our First Responder Workshops are real talk, led by real first responders, sharing lived experience — no judgment, no fixing, no labels.

Just space to hear the truth, feel less alone, and know that help exists.

First responders face unique stressors that most people never see — cumulative trauma, operational stress, and the constant demand to stay composed under pressure.

After Action provides culturally competent mental health support designed specifically for first responders and high-stress professionals. Our programs are built around understanding the realities of the job, the culture, and the impact that long-term exposure can have on mental wellbeing.

Support should fit the work — not ask you to explain it.

Some parts of the job don’t come with training — but they still come with the job.

The constant alertness.
The broken sleep.
The weight that follows you home.

These aren’t personal failures. They’re predictable outcomes of high-stress, high-exposure work.

At After Action, we train for the part of the job no one prepares you for — so first responders don’t have to carry it alone.

🛡️ You’re not broken.
🛡️ You’re human.
🛡️ And support is part of the job, too.

01/14/2026

Support often exists long before it’s used.

By the time help is accessed, early intervention has usually passed.

This week’s conversation focuses on the help gap agencies don’t see — and what changes when support happens sooner.

Live this week.

We’re honored to share that After Action has been approved by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

This recognition reflects our commitment to trauma-informed mental health support designed specifically for first responders.

Trust matters.

01/05/2026

Critical incidents matter—but inadequate follow-up is what turns stress into trauma.

Not the call.
The silence after.

As the year comes to a close, there’s a natural pause —
a moment to reflect on what was carried, what was learned, and what no longer needs to be held.

For those who serve, strength is often measured by endurance.
But reflection is part of readiness, too.

As we step into the new year, may we carry forward what truly matters —
the values that ground us, the people who anchor us, and the support that sustains us beyond the call.

At After Action, we believe resilience isn’t about pushing through alone.
It’s about having the right support built in, before it’s needed.

Here’s to moving forward with intention, steadiness, and care.

First responders are trained to manage stress — but not all stress is the same.

Operational stress and trauma often overlap, and over time, the line between them can blur. When that happens, symptoms can show up quietly: sleep issues, irritability, emotional distance, or feeling constantly “on edge.”

Tomorrow’s First Responder Workshop breaks down:
• The difference between operational stress and trauma
• Why the nervous system doesn’t reset after shift
• How repeated exposure compounds over time
• Early signs the line is blurring — before it becomes a crisis
