The data doesn’t lie:

Law enforcement officers are 54% more likely to die by su***de than civilians (Violanti et al., 2021).

Firefighters face a su***de rate of 18 per 100,000, compared to 13 per 100,000 for the general population (U.S. Fire Administration, 2023).

Corrections staff? Some states report rates as high as 105 per 100,000—39% higher than average (National Institute of Justice, 2023).

These aren’t just stats—they’re lives cut short. Families gutted. Teams left asking, why didn’t anyone say something?

Every problem can be solved. But not if you’re dead.

Speak up. Stay alive. Share this and start the conversation someone else is too scared to start.

Today we honor the 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 Port Authority police, and 8 EMTs/paramedics who gave their lives running toward danger to save others on September 11, 2001.

These heroes inspired countless Americans to serve—in the military, as first responders, and in public safety. In the days and months that followed 9/11, many men and women were inspired to enlist in the armed services and join first responder ranks.

Now it's our turn to support the generation they inspired. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Who decided PTSD makes you weak?

Was it leadership?
The command staff who talks resilience but punishes emotion?
Or the system that promotes awareness while pushing you deeper into silence?

They made you feel broken for reacting like a human.
We don’t buy it.

PTSD is your brain doing what it had to do to survive.
But you shouldn’t still see their faces when you close your eyes.
We have tools that work. We’ve seen them work.

You’re not broken.
You’re stuck in survival mode.
And we can help you out of it.

This week is National Su***de Prevention Week—and we’re done pretending these topics are off-limits.

You’ve got questions about su***de, PTSD, and what it means for your job, your record, or your family.
We’ve heard them all. And we’re not afraid to answer.

Drop your questions below or send us a private message. No judgment. No filter.
Just real talk—because silence kills more than trauma ever has.

📌 We’ll be answering all week.

This week isn’t just another awareness moment—it’s National Su***de Prevention Week (Sept. 7–13, 2025).

We’re posting daily because silence is a battlefield.

Trauma doesn’t kill on duty. Silence does—through isolation, fear, and the lie that you can—or should—handle it alone.

Your career is protected. Your privacy is sacred—but if you don’t speak up, none of it matters.

Because no matter how rough things feel, death isn’t the solution.

Speak. Stay. Survive.

What stood in your way?

💯 Stigma
🏢 Leadership
💰 Cost
🤐 Fear of fallout

Most people don’t avoid therapy because they don’t want it—they avoid it because someone taught them it wasn’t safe.

We built this place to change that.

Drop the emoji that fits your story—or tag someone who needs to know they’re not the only one.

You shouldn’t have to explain why you check the exits. Or why crowds feel like a threat. Or what it’s like to carry someone else’s worst day home with you.

We don’t hire therapists who need you to educate them.
Every clinician here has deep ties to the first responder world—through marriage, experience, or family. That’s not a bonus. That’s baseline.

Because cultural precision isn’t a tagline. It’s how we earn your trust.

We’re a private practice. That means no city oversight, no board interference, no department strings attached. And even when we do contract with departments, our contracts are tight. They don’t know who we see or why. Ever.

Because your confidentiality isn’t negotiable.

We built this place because we saw what broken systems did—and we refused to be part of it.

Yes, we charge for care. Because good care costs something. But we don’t gatekeep it. We use the Foundation to fund care when cost is the barrier. We build custom plans. We make it work—without compromising privacy or quality.

We’re not chasing revenue.
We’re building a system that actually works.

📩 Questions about private care? Ask below—we’ll break it down.

You’ve been told to suck it up.
To push through.
To deal with it like everyone else does.

But silence doesn’t make it better. It just buries it deeper.

We aren’t the system that failed you. We’re not leadership with an ego problem. We’re not the ones who told you trauma makes you weak.

We’ve lived in the same world, let down by the same leadership—and we built care that actually fits it.

This isn’t therapy that sidelines you.
It’s therapy that gets you back in the fight.

Healing culture takes more than therapy. That’s why we’re launching the Inner Circle Institute—and Autumn is the leader to build it.

Raised in a military family, shaped by years married to a firefighter-paramedic, and grounded in both clinical depth and real-world grit, Autumn Cooper brings more than credentials—she brings legacy.

She’s worked across public health, community mental health, and private practice. She’s trained systems and sat with clients. Now she’s here to teach the rest of the field how to do it right.

As the Director of Training and Education, Autumn will lead the development of our signature curricula.

She’s here because we believe support should hit on every level:

Therapy heals the individual.

The Foundation breaks down financial barriers.

The Institute changes the system from the inside out.

We aren’t the leadership that failed you. We are you.
And the mission just got stronger.
