WHERE YOU THRIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR NEVADA FIRST RESPONDERS, SERVICE MEN & WOMEN, AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL.
ABOUT US
SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide quality mental health resources and support to our first-responders and hospital health care professionals so they may live the very best lives possible on and off duty. We accomplish this with collaborative efforts to improve resilience by means of breaking down barriers surrounding mental health and align those that serve with optimum mental readiness.
NEVADA PEER SUPPORT NETWORK
The Nevada Peer Support Network (NPSN) was established in 2019. First responders, military personnel, and hospital professionals are regularly exposed to death, grief, injury, pain or loss, as well as direct exposure to threats to personal safety, long work hours, frequent shifts, poor sleep, physical hardships, occupational disillusionment, and other negative hardships. The impact of this work is well documented and shows that there is a direct impact on physical and mental health (i.e., increased risk of heart disease, cancer, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, traumatic stress injuries, relational discord, substance use disorders, and ultimately shorter lifespans).
Our aim to smash the mental health stigma of getting help early and often. Building mental readiness is a strength and not a weakness. When it comes to a fractured bone or cancer, everyone is open about sharing the information, but when it comes to an injured mind, many are hesitant to seek out the resources necessary for healing. With integrated mind-body modalities that support and integrate with everyday physical wellness, this need not be the case.
