Serving Those Who Serve

Across the nation, behavioral health programs in public safety vary widely in scope, quality, and longevity. Some agencies have strong foundations; others rely on fragmented, informal, or short-term efforts that were never designed for the chronic, cumulative, and unavoidable trauma responders experience throughout their careers.

Without a unified national standard, responder care remains inconsistent—and the consequences are real.

We bring a systems-based organizational framework grounded in Sustained Functional Resilience™ (SFR)—a structure built specifically for the operational realities of responder work. SFR defines how responder behavioral health systems must be organized, governed, protected, and sustained across time. It establishes the architecture agencies need to ensure stability, confidentiality, and predictable, culturally aligned support.

FRBH-accredited agencies meet the nation’s benchmark for ethical, culturally competent, and sustainable responder behavioral health systems—capable of supporting the workforce through chronic exposure, operational stress, and the unique demands of public safety service.

“When responder wellness is protected, performance, safety, and community trust all rise together.”

The FRBH Access Fund

Responder behavioral health is a public good.
