Alpha-Stim
for First Responders
Supporting your mental health and well-being the way you support your communities
Every day, first responders like yourself are exposed to strenuous situations and phenomena that most people don’t have to handle. As a result, your job can take a toll on your physical and mental well-being. Recent research has found that 69% of EMS providers report insufficient time between traumatic incidents, with many expected to be on duty up to and beyond 24 hours. And a 2022 study analysis of first responders found a high prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as value in early assessment and management of mild anxiety, depression, and stress to prevent progression.
High levels of stress, physical demands, and inadequate or erratic sleep push your body and mind to the limit on a regular basis. It’s no surprise then that first responders struggle with anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain. In fact, in 2021 Kaiser found that 85% of first responders had experienced mental health issues.
But because of the demands of your job, it might not make sense for you to take medications that could impair your ability to perform at your best. Or you may feel uncomfortable with the risk of medication side effects.
