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