First Responder Wellness
Our Focus
The First Responder Wellness Lab is working to develop a comprehensive and tactical wellness model for first responders, including but not limited to: Police/Fire/EMS, emergency department staff, 9-1-1 dispatchers, and disaster responders.
Through partnerships with emergency service agencies, we will conduct needs assessments, map the lifespan of a first responder's career, and build cultural competency for those in helping professions, in an effort to meet the unique needs of this community.
Partnership with UDPD
The University of Dayton Police Department initiated a partnership with the BHWET program to develop a wellness program to address the health and wellbeing of officers who serve the university's community.
Student participants lead monthly training sessions with UDPD officers focused on a specific area of wellness to enhance understanding and prioritize wellness.
