August is National Wellness Month, a time dedicated to building healthy habits, reducing stress, and promoting self-care. For first responders, whose work demands relentless energy and emotional resilience, wellness isn’t just important it’s essential.

Did you know?
Integrated Wellness is proud to have culturally competent therapists who specialize in working with first responders and veterans. Our team understands the unique challenges these communities face and provides compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their needs.

Your wellness matters—let us walk alongside you on your journey. 💙

The weight you carry is beyond what most can imagine.
The average person experiences 5–6 traumatic incidents in their lifetime.
As a first responder—whether you’re EMS, fire, law enforcement, or dispatch—you may face hundreds, sometimes thousands, over the course of your career.

This is why mental health support isn’t optional—it’s essential. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and seeking help is not weakness. It’s how you keep showing up for the people who need you most.

💙 You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone.

Today, on Purple Heart Day, we pause to honor the men and women who have been wounded or killed in combat, warriors who paid the price with blood, pain, and sacrifice in defense of our country. 💜 The Purple Heart is not just a medal. It’s a symbol of courage carried in silence. It’s the story behind the scar. It’s the pain that lingers long after the battlefield. It’s the invisible wounds that many continue to carry, often without recognition, and sometimes, without support. At Warriors Heart, we see those wounds. We hear the stories that were never told. And we honor every warrior who kept going when it would’ve been easier to give up. To those who stood in the line of fire and to those still fighting battles we can’t always see, your service matters, your pain is real, and your life is valued.

Today, we remember. We honor. We stand with you.

🚨 How to Come Down After the Call 🚨

When the call ends but your body’s still on high alert, try these quick resets:

1️⃣ Walk it off – 5–10 minutes of slow movement
2️⃣ Shake it out – release tension in hands, jaw, and legs
3️⃣ Grip + let go – use a towel or stress ball
4️⃣ Station reset – 10 squats, 10 pushups, and a full stretch

Taking a few minutes to decompress can help your body recover and keep you ready for the next call.

Thank you to First Responders Resilience Network for developing this resource and helping us support one another the right way.

Today marks 235 years of courage, commitment, and sacrifice, Happy Birthday to the United States Coast Guard. ⚓🇺🇸

Since 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard has been on the front lines, not just of our nation’s shores, but of every storm, crisis, and call for help.
From daring sea rescues to drug interdictions, disaster response to homeland security, these brave men and women stand watch 24/7, often with little recognition and even less rest.

At Warriors Heart, we understand the weight that comes with service, the unseen sacrifices, the quiet strength, and the warrior spirit that never wavers.
Today, we honor every Coastie, past and present, for their tireless commitment to protecting lives and defending freedom, both here at home and abroad.

Semper Paratus, Always Ready. And for 235 years, they’ve proven it.

August Self-Care Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Lifeline. 🚑🚒👮‍♀️

You give so much of yourself to others—this month, give a little back to you. Whether it's a small reset or a bold new move, choose something that refuels your spirit:

🧢 Protect your peace
📸 Capture calm moments
🏄 Explore a new hobby
📞 Reconnect with someone who gets it
🎨 Have fun with creativity
🌊 Stay in the present

Even one intentional act of self-care can help restore balance in a chaotic world. Your mental health matters—on and off duty.

👉 What’s one way you plan to take care of yourself this August?

🚨 First Responders: Your body remembers what your mind pushes through. 🚒🚑🚓

Trauma isn’t just “in your head”—it can live in your **shoulders, stomach, chest, and even your legs**. Chronic pain, tension, tightness, or digestive issues might be signs your nervous system is carrying more than it can process.

You’ve been trained to run *into* the crisis. But healing means learning how to slow down, breathe deep, and listen to what your body is saying.

🧠 + 🫁 = Recovery is possible. Somatic tools, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care can help release what’s been held inside for too long.

🛑 You’re not weak. You’re human.
💡 You deserve support, too.
