Missouri has a robust Crisis Intervention Team State Counsel (MO CIT) who recognize first responders face a multitude of challenges and have developed a culture built on trust. MO CIT has identified a list of trained behavioral health professionals who specialize in helping law enforcement, emergency medical service (EMS) staff, fire, correctional staff, and other first responders struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and those who have suicide ideations. The trusted providers on the ‘vetted’ First Responder Provider Network (FRPN) are trained in trauma and have clinical and/or personal experience with a culture of professionals who are often stigmatized for seeking/receiving mental health treatment. The FRPN is a 501c3 under the umbrella of the Missouri Behavioral Health Council (MBHC). The FRPN was established in 2018, and as of January 1, 2024, there are 53 FRPN clinicians. Missouri is the only state who has an FRPN, and MO CIT staff are frequently asked to share information about the program with other states at national conferences.
