We are conducting a clinical research study to evaluate two specialized training workshops. This multi-site study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (M-PIs: Gonzalez, Schwartz, Vujanovic; NIMH R01MH137282).
Join us in strengthening the resilience and field performance of first responders through science-backed training.
Study Overview
Project FiRST is a research study focused on supporting first responders through practical, skills-based training. Participants take part in a workshop and follow-up activities over the course of roughly 12 months, helping us better understand what approaches are most useful for everyday health and wellness, stress management, and performance in the field.
Why It Matters
First responders face unique and ongoing stress on the job. This study is designed to better understand what truly helps—so we can build stronger, more effective support and training for those who serve our communities every day.
Your Privacy Matters
All information collected in this study is confidential. Your responses will be stored securely and will never be shared in a way that could identify you.
