MCKINLEYVILLE, CA – Arcata Fire District has been awarded a $10,000 grant through the Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation’s Community Response Team for mental health services for District employees and their families.

The District is excited to be partnering with Restoration First Responder Counseling Centers who are dedicated to serving the unique needs of first responders and their families. They provide comprehensive support through crisis intervention, direct counseling services, and peer support training and development. They focus on addressing the specific challenges first responders and their families face.

Most of their clinicians are retired first responders or are closely related to one, ensuring they understand the challenges and pressures firsthand.  Their goal is to provide compassionate and practical support, helping first responders and their families navigate the stresses and demands of their crucial roles so they can remain healthy and continue to serve their community.
