The Cost of Care Gap
It is not a matter of if, but when, a first responder encounters a stressful or traumatic event. Having wellness mechanisms in place to decrease the likelihood of physiologic exhaustion can save the first responder, their agency and the communities they serve.
Work Related Injuries
$10,000-$40,000
​
A physical work-related injury can result in these costs due to soring emergency department fees and often times, a more serious issue misdiagnosed for a prolonged period of time.
Trauma Informed Care
$20,000 - $40,000
​
Range of cost for mental health services due to delayed critical, trauma informed care and limited behavioral health services equipped with culturally competent mental health professionals specializing in first responder recovery
Wellness Investments
$1,000 - $5,000
​
The cost of preventative care for first responder peer-support assisted training. One trained peer-support provider typically influences 10–30 colleagues over time.
