Reply to "Request for Information about ACE/Resliency Scores of Practitioners - impact on burnout & service provision"

The On-Site Academy used to provide both Crisis/Respite services and EMDR trained clinicians for "First Responders" from throughout the United States at its facility in Gardner, Massachusetts. This was shortly after I'd gone to a CISD (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing) training--where all the EMT/Paramedics were asked to stand, and respond to the question: "How many of you believe that 'nobody dies in my ambulance' ?" The facilitator asked those folks to remain standing, and said: " Now that we've identified all the Type-A personalities...", and we continued. Regretably, the CISD training didn't address 'something' for me--that would have allowed me to [confidently] return to Aviation Public Safety (law enforcement/Crash-Fire-Rescue/and Mass Casualty planning/etc.). Fortunately, last i'd heard, the On-Site Academy now provides Crisis/Respite at its adjunct [serene] rural farm location, outside of Gardner, as well as its affiliation with '[trauma-informed] Intentional [Police] Peer Support'-with Boston and Cambridge [Mass.] Police Departments, and On-Site also now provides similar Crisis/Respite service for 'Human Services personnel'--from throughout the entire world [rather than just for 'First Responders' from the USA].
