First Responders . . . They work in jobs that can be very rewarding, very humbling, and very exciting. On the flip side of that is the job that can be very stressful, very draining, very demanding. While we all got into these jobs to serve our fellow man, sometimes we are the ones in need of the help.

If you are a First Responder and you believe that you need to speak with someone about issues related to your job, please feel to contact the Livingston County Critical Incident Stress Management Team. We will arrange to have a member of the Team contact you.

For Livingston County, Michigan responders, please contact Central Dispatch at 517 - 546 - 9111 and ask to have a member of the CISM Team to contact you.

You are worth taking care of yourself, call us.
