Missouri 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 was established in 2018, is a 501c3 and as of January 1, 2024, there are 50+ FRPN clinicians. Missouri is the only state who has an FRPN, and staff are frequently asked to share information about the program with other states and at national conferences.
