About FRBH
The American Board of First Responder Behavioral Healthcare (FRBH) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit standards-setting and accreditation body that advances governance-embedded workforce behavioral health protection across public safety.
FRBH establishes nationally consistent minimum requirements for the management of occupational psychological hazard exposure across local, federal, tribal, and territorial public safety agencies. Through accreditation, FRBH independently verifies organizational conformance with the FRBH National Standard.
FRBH does not provide clinical services, prescribe treatment models, accredit healthcare providers, or regulate mental health programs.
Mission
To establish governance-embedded safeguards that protect trauma-exposed public safety personnel through system-level management of occupational psychological hazard exposure.
Governance & Structural Independence
FRBH operates under a formal governance structure designed to preserve independence, impartiality, and public trust.
Standards development, accreditation determinations, executive administration, and advisory functions are structurally separated to protect decision integrity and institutional independence.
Accreditation determinations are rendered under documented conflict-of-interest and impartiality safeguards.
Advisory Council
FRBH maintains a national Advisory Council composed of subject matter experts in public safety operations, occupational behavioral health, governance design, and trauma-exposed operational environments.
The Advisory Council provides technical guidance and does not render accreditation decisions or exercise governing authority.
Scope Notice

Accreditation is voluntary and does not replace statutory, regulatory, or collective bargaining obligations.
