Train Peers
CISM is a peer driven program and our team will increase support by expanding the network of first responders who can answer this call. Message to get trained and help lead our team.
ICISF Group and Individual (GRIN) training is a 3 day course taught by certified ICISF instructors. Advanced training is also available. Currently CISM Training is offered FREE from Frontline Strong Together for First Responders in the State of Michigan. Class dates can be found at www.fst5.org.

Reimburse Costs
Interventions are always conducted by a Peer and at least one trauma specialist. Our dedicated team members are currently doing this on a volunteer basis and often across the Central Upper Peninsula.
Help reimburse travel expenses and to off set co-pays for mental health professionals. In the event that ongoing therapy is needed after an event, this fund may help to assist with co-pays for those costs. (up to $500/Responder) This fund may also cover transportation costs if a First Responder needs to access SUD treatment out of the local area.

Grow Community Network
Critical Incidents can affect many different lives. We're growing our membership representation to increase community preparedness. This is a proactive step to help people deal with significant or large-scale incidents. Message to get involved and join our network.
