Confidential support for the burlington fire department
Focused. No-Nonsense. Purposeful.
You're the first to respond...but are you the last to seek help?
EAPFirst is a confidential statewide program operated by the State of Vermont dedicated to meeting you wherever you are in life.
​
Our carefully-vetted small group of counselors are different from the wider pool of EAP counselors. Each has experience in the treatment of individuals exposed to trauma and each has a dedicated interest in serving First Responders.
We provide strictly confidential individual counseling, staff-wide resiliency debriefings, and peer network support.
