On-Site Academy Information

The On-Site Academy is a non-profit residential treatment and training center for critical incident stress management. We serve emergency service workers who are in distress. Our program is for all law enforcement, fire service, EMS, or other human service personnel who are themselves temporarily overwhelmed by the stress of their jobs, what they have seen, and what they have been through. Emergency Service professionals have extraordinarily high coping abilities and deal with events that would be highly stressful for any normal person. Certain types of incidents: line of duty death/injury, loss of a child, victim known to respondent, mass casualty incidents, as well as any call powerful enough to produce unusually strong emotional reactions at the scene or later, can overwhelm even the most experienced veteran. In addition, the cumulative effect of years of experience and coping in the field can also be overwhelming. Emergency Service providers from across the world, who are experiencing critical incident stress or post-trauma reactions to the point where their jobs, relationships with loved ones and the quality of life have been significantly impacted, are the individuals who may most benefit from our program.
