We aren’t actively filling clinician or peer support positions right now, but we keep every application on file and reach out if a need comes up.

What you’d do

At a retreat, clinicians and peer support lead the breakout sessions and peer groups, and they’re often called on when an attendee is in distress or needs additional support. First Responders meet in one room and the people with them meet in another, so both can speak freely.

This isn’t counseling or therapy. At the retreat, the role is to lead the group, hold the room, and be there for anyone who needs it.

Who we’re looking for

  • Experience working with First Responders is required.
  • Clinicians: a master’s degree and a current license.
  • Peer support: lived experience, and training in peer support if you have it.

“Leaving feeling the most informed, inspired, and supported since my PTSD diagnosis.”

Retreat attendee

After the retreat: Healing Bridge

Retreat attendees can receive up to 12 grant-funded counseling sessions, individual or couples, through Healing Bridge. Those sessions are provided by vetted clinicians, and because the grant comes from Ohio, Healing Bridge clinicians must be licensed in Ohio.

Licensed somewhere else? You’re still welcome at the retreats, and you’re welcome to offer attendees counseling in the state where you’re licensed.

Both lead breakout sessions and peer groups at the retreats, and are often called on when an attendee is in distress or needs more support.
