What is the Wellness & Resiliency Program?
The Fort Worth Wellness & Resiliency Program is designed to provide no cost clinical resources for first responders. Clinical resources include counseling and psychologist office visits that can be accessed without having to go through employee assistance program, officer wellness programs at a police department, a peer network, or insurance referrals.
Why is it important to offer this?
Mental health issues, PTSD, and depression affect 11-34% of first responders.
While first responders may have avenues for private mental health care through insurance or peer networks, many still hesitate to seek help, even in the aftermath of traumatic incidents.
The Wellness & Resiliency Program offers an additional anonymous channel through which first responders can obtain assistance on their own terms.
Are services confidential?
Completely. In addition to being entirely separate from employers, a wholly anonymous process has been put in place, including a provider reimbursement procedure that does not include the first responders name or any other identifying information.
How does the officer access services?
- To see a clinician, an officer takes a chip, and selects a provider on the program list.
- One chip covers the cost associated of one visit with reimbursement of services paid directly to the provider by the city.
- A chip is redeemed directly with the clinician, who in turn will use it to invoice for reimbursement.
- All visits are confidential, completely anonymous, and no information is shared with the police/fire department or the city.
The below Providers are contracted with the city to provide free and confidential services.
Contact the provider directly to schedule an appointment.
