Training for First Responders & Outdoor Professionals
We provide tangible tools to manage the risk of burnout and traumatic stress injury for high-risk occupations.
Stress Resilience for Organizations
Occupational stress injury risk management involves all personnel within an organization.
To best facilitate resilience programs, Responder Alliance offers comprehensive training and guidance for all roles, including field responders (all personnel in high risk occupations), peer responders (those providing support to their peers), organization leadership and mental health clinicians.

For individuals not yet affiliated with an organization-wide resilience program, we offer Training Hubs with in-depth training and guidance specific to your role. Not sure which Hub is right for you? Click here for info.

why it works
Stress injury is a common, predictable injury type that leads responders and outdoor professionals to leave their careers early.
Our team of industry-leading educators combine extensive field experience, subject-matter-expertise and scientific review to provide the highest quality training on the topic.
We empower individuals and organizations to proactively manage their stress response, rather than losing time, effort, and money to burnout and turnover.
Our method is internationally recommended, backed by science, and used by leaders across the rescue, medical, ski, and outdoor industries.
