Service Offerings for the Employee

Critical Incident Appointments

Confidential sessions with culturally competent mental health professionals are offered within 48-72 hours after a critical incident. These sessions explore the employee’s reactions, support systems, and available professional resources.  The employee will also receive psycho-educational material for reference, in addition to a three-month follow-up with the psychologist. Employers are informed of attendance only and will receive “Attended/Did Not Attend” as the only feedback.

Report Findings

  • Attended
  • Did Not Attend

Mental Wellness Appointments

Mental wellness appointments are one-hour confidential sessions that allow an employee to speak with a mental health professional.

Topics explored

  • Work challenges, adaptation, and coping skills in their current role. Along with a focus on perceived strengths, relative weaknesses, and areas of growth.
  • Availability of family, social, church, and other support systems.
  • Knowledge of professional resources available to them through work and/or community.

Physical Wellness Appointments

Physical wellness appointments are performed by Advanced Practice Professionals (APPs) who understand the physical requirements of first responders. The physical wellness results are summarized and shared with appropriate agency staff pre-determined by the agency.
FMRT will deliver the final report via a secure website to the appropriate personnel. Report findings will be provided in the summary sections indicating:
  • No identifiable physical conditions that suggest further examination; OR, there are identifiable physical conditions (stated) that suggest further examination.

Post-Deployment Appointments

FMRT offers post-deployment sessions for returning veterans, encouraged for all agencies as a service to their employees. These sessions, similar to critical incident appointments, focus on educating veterans about potential adjustment issues and support options. They are not fitness-for-duty evaluations since no work-related issues are assessed prior to the veteran’s return.
