Recommendedwhat a great place !!! I felt lost and and lonely, and all the firefighters and staff made me feel loved and respected again !! if you don't where to turn call the center today!
The COE helped me with so much. I came in feeling so broken and unloved. I felt unworthy of being loved. Now I am home and facing life’s problems with a positive outlook on life and renewed sense of purpose. Thank you so much!
The COE helped me get back to the real me. I was in a dark and lonely place prior to going to the Center. The staff from the Bhts to the clinicians along with the unwavering support of my peers there truly make the center excellent. The strong connections I made there will be one of the strongest links in my support chain. im beyond grateful for the COE! THANK YOU.
The COE helped me out of the darkest time of my life, and helped me build the foundation for a healthy and successful future. You get out of it what you put into it. If you need help, and want to be surrounded by firefighters and staff members who truly care about you and can understand what you’re going through, make the tough call and go. You’ll be happy you did.
What a great experience it was for me to be able to attend such a beautiful facility with such loving and caring staff. I cannot tell you enough how nice it is to actually feel in control of my life again and be able to love myself again. Learning about myself as well as how things of the past have shaped me both in good and bad ways. Being given the tools necessary for me to grow mentally and physically and use my mind again without the fog of drugs and the negative experiences of the past control me any longer is a freedom... read more
The place was great, there were a few hiccups, but that is all they were. The clinicians and staff were very personable. The food was very good. The best part was being there with other firefighters and paramedics going thru the same issues you have. I'm not ashamed of talking about my PTSD, it's because of the center that I can. They give you the tools to use you just have to use them. MAKE THE CALL!!!!! you'll be glad you did. private message me, we can talk more!!!
Unfortunately, I was admitted during the Covid Crisis. There is a reason why they are called "IAFF Center of Excellence". You will not find the caliber of care I recieved anywhere else. I was made comfortable and all my concerns and fears were addressed quickly. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff was top notch and friendly. My days were spent in a group atmosphere and my nights were spent with other firefighters telling our stories by the campfire, playing volleyball, working out in the gym and walking or runnin... read more
This place was phenomenal!! The staff was friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The therapist and doctors were very knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate! The best part was the fellow firefighters there! We all shared our pain and tears but built each other up along the way too! Because of this place I’m not afraid of my PTSD or ashamed of talking about it! Please if you have just the smallest thought about needing this place make the call! You’ll be glad you did!!
This place will not prevent more than one station house member or department member from coming at the same time. Even when it is a captain and a subordinate. I find this highly unethical as it is great to share with other firefighters but not necessarily with someone from your same station house. If you are there and this happens, you are forced to make a choice. Either you leave or you accept the situation. This was my story. I asked the director of the facility if the IAFF supported this policy and he said that it did not... read more
