First Responders

Wildland Firefighting is strenuous, risky, and grueling work. It requires long assignments that can extend 14 days straight and require hiking 8-10 miles a day in treacherous conditions. Various environmental factors have caused an extension in the length of the fire season and fire behavior has become more severe and unpredictable. Wildland Firefighting  is not just a job but a calling that requires sacrifice and provides a deep sense of purpose. However, it can also take a toll on wildland fire personnel’s physical and mental health. The therapists at H.A.B.I.T.S. Psychotherapy have completed tailored trainings specific to this population and are ready to provide therapeutic support to Wildland Firefighters.
