RecommendedI was in a very dark place, mentally, before I called the center for help. I didn't know what was wrong with me, and I felt there wasn't anything anybody could do to help me. Immediately, I got connected to other brother's and sister's who felt the same way I did. I realized I was not alone in my fight. I was quickly diagnosed. and treatment started right after. It was an amazing journey guided by the staff of the center, and supported by my fire department family. There is no shame in asking for help. Your life will be chan... read more
It has been two plus years since I went to the Center of Excellence. It changed my life, and helped me to feel normal again. I have a feeling of contentment in my life that I never thought I would feel. The C of E allowed me to hit a reset button and change the direction of my life. I was on a steady downward spiral for 12 years, they helped me learn how to deal with my struggles and taught me how to cope with day to day problems that I previously forgot how to deal with.
You are NOT alone!!! The hardest thing I’ve ever done was to pick the phone, find my clinician & then have her help me get to the COE! From the time I passed through the gate, the concern & connections I felt to the brothers & sisters out there was 2nd to none. It brought the brotherhood/sisterhood back to life. The staff starting with Marc all the way down to the BHT’s genuinely care and want us better so we can be better for ourselves, our families and our communities if you chose to go back to work.

The minute I arrived I felt welcomed. The Brother/sisterhood shown by fellow patients showed me it was still alive. The entire staff including the kitchen staff are invested in each one of us. I feel like you can open up more being around people who understand us as first responders and support us. The trauma program is truly magical, it is really something to be able to restore traumas as go on with a happy productive life. The COE saved my life and marriage. Thank you for all you do for us
As soon as you pull into the gates you automatically feel welcomed from the staff. This place is geared to save lives and it saved mine. Highly recommended for any first responders. Like I said the staff from the top to the bottom treat you very professional and I love each and everyone of them. THANKS AGAIN COE!
Awesome life changing experience.
What an amazing experience! It is so reassuring to know that there is a place where as firefighters we can go so that OUR voices can be heard. The problems we all face in our line of work takes a toll on us in ways that words sometimes can't describe. The COE helped me address those problems and equiped me with the tools I need to continue to deal with them as they may arise. I am now a better man, husband, father and friend because I went to the COE. Thank you COE for all that you do and will continue to do for us! 😊
I was a patient at this center around October of 2020. My treatment was focused on PTSD, anxiety and depression. If you even have the thought of doing this, dont wait. This place provides tools for a healthier and happier life. All of the employees I met were highly skilled professionals who seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. Like alot of other things, you get what you put into it. You have to trust this process.
The hardest part was making the phone call. The entire staff at COE are incredible people, they REALLY carr about us. If you are struggling PLEASE make the call you will not regret it! I came home a new person with many new friends.
