Badge Responder Services
The Resilient Badge
Badge to Badge
Badge Responder Services is a first responder resource for substance abuse counseling, talk therapy, and support meetings. Having a safe place to heal from the trauma and possible addictions you face is paramount. Our therapists offer a unique level of understanding of the demands of a first responder job as former first responders themselves. Â
Resilient Badge offers Neuro Stimulation Therapy which provides a faster modality for the healing of PTSI, improvement of cognitive and executive functions, reductions in sleep disturbances as well as anxiety. Â
Badge to Badge is 501C3 non-profit peer to peer support organization. It was designed as a place for first responders to support other police officers, firefighters, and EMT’s process their stress, and offer a place to get support from those who understand first hand what you are going through.
We are First Responders helping other First Responders.
First responders are highly trained individuals who risk their lives to help and protect others in their most vulnerable states. First responders understand they will be in high stress situations as part of their job; they are often not trained on what to do with the compounding mental stress and fatigue they might face after the events are over.
When measures are not taken to alleviate the stress and trauma, symptoms will start to arise within the body and brain. Persistent negative thoughts, trauma replay, anxiety, sleep disturbances, depression, impulsive decisions, and impaired cognitive functions are a few of the responses that individuals feel after high stress events or working in a career that is associated with stressful conditions.
The good news is that you now have a resource for support and healing with the Badge Group.Â
Testimonials from Resilient Badge Clients
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Rebecca and her team at Badge. For the first time, I found a place where people actually understand this job and what it does to you. The groups are powerful—each week we dig into a different topic, and the optional homework has helped me really understand my alcoholism and how it’s impacted my life.
The peer mentors—Chris, Wes, and Corey—are incredible. These guys volunteer their time and show up consistently. Having other first responders who’ve been through it and are willing to take your call or sit with you when things get hard makes all the difference. I’m lucky I found this program.
I’ve been working with Rebecca individually and she’s the real deal. She was a cop, so I don’t have to explain anything about the job—we just get straight into the work. It’s not always easy, but I’ve learned more about myself in a few months than I have in years. I’m grateful for Badge and for the FOP helping cover the cost so I could get the help I needed.
I’ve done inpatient and IOP before, but nothing stuck. This is different. Being in a group with other first responders who get it changes everything. There’s accountability, honesty, and no hiding. This program has given me tools I actually use every day.
What stands out about Badge is that it’s not just therapy—it’s connection. The mix of clinical work and peer support is what makes it work. I’ve rebuilt trust with my family, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m moving forward instead of just surviving.
I came in skeptical. I didn’t think a group would help and I definitely didn’t think I’d open up. But the structure, the topics, and the way it’s run made it feel safe to actually be honest. This program saved my career and probably my life.
