The Wright Institute’s First Responder Psychology program prepares psychologists and other health and mental health clinicians to serve emergency response, disaster recovery workers, and those in other high-risk occupations.
Ours is among the first programs of its kind in the U.S. to address this vital area of service.
The classes—offered individually or as part of the First Responder Psychology Certificate Program—provide instruction aimed at enabling you to perform culturally sensitive first responder psychology services that support resiliency and recovery. The three course curriculum plus an experiential training practicum aims to help build a clinical workforce able to address the needs of our public servants, in areas of trauma, and in addressing racial and social justice conflicts that arise in the course of their work. This growing field needs bright, imaginative psychologists ready to tackle big questions. Will you join us?
