Program accomplishments

  • CHEMLINE, A POLYURETHANE AND POLYUREA FORMULATIONS MANUFACTURER, HAS A STRONG COMMITMENT TO GIVING BACK TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. THROUGH ITS CHEMLINE CARES INITIATIVE, CORPORATE PLEDGES ARE DONATED TO SELECTED CHARITIES THROUGH A TEAM-DRIVEN EFFORT THAT EMBODIES THEIR COLLECTIVE SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. EACH MEMBER OF THE CHEMLINE CARES TEAM CHAMPIONS A CHARITY THAT IS CLOSE TO THEIR HEART, BUIDING AND SUPPORTING THE CHARITY'S NEES THROUGH A DEDICATED PARTNERSHIP. IN SEPTEMBER 2024 CHEMLINE CARES REACHED OUT TO FIRST ACCESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WITH A DESIRE TO FUND THE ORGANIZATION TO FURTHER SUPPORT IT'S MISSION TO DELIVER EVIDENCE-BASED SERVICES AND EDUCATION TO FIRST RESPONDERS. MEMBERS OF THE CHEMLINE TEAM HAND-PICKED FIRST ACCESS BEHAVIROAL HEALT DUE TO THEIR FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE IMPACT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK. THIS 31,000 GRANT PROVIDED 258 HOURS OF IMMEDIATE AND BARRIER FREE ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED THERAPY SERVICES INCLUDING EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING, SOMATIC EXPREIENCING PROCESSING, BRAINSPORTTING AND NEUROFEEDBACK. COUNSELING AND CRISIS INTERVENTION ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE WELLBEING OF ALL FIRST RESPONDERS, WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECTS THEM INDIVIDUALLY, ON THE JOB AND AT HOME. THE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SERVICES ARE OFTEN TOO HIGH FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER TO INCUR AND MANY DEPARTMENTS DO NOT HAVE PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT WOULD OFFSET THESE COSTS. AS A DIRECT RESULT, THE FIRST RESPONDER DOES NOT SEEK HELP AND FALLS DEEPER INTO DESPAIR OR PTSD BECOMES TOO MUCH TO MANAGE AND THE REULTS CAN BE DEVASTATING. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES COUNSELING AND CRISIS INTERVENTION, WITH NO FINANCIAL BARRIERS, FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER (AND HIS FAMILY) AND WILL INCLUDE CRISIS INTERVENTION, ROUTINE SESSIONS, SUPPORT GROUPS AND ONGOING CARE WITHOUT TIME LIMITS. THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES POST-CRISIS RECOVERY FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER AND IS ALSO IN PLACE TO SERVE FULL DEPARTMENTS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING CRITICAL INCIDENTS. FUNDING COMES FROM FEE-FOR-SERVICE VISITS AND GRANT SUPPORT FROM PARTNERING FIRE DEPARTMENTS. MORE THAN 25 FIRST RESPONDERS ACROSS MISSOURI WERE SERVED WITH THIS PROGRAM IN 2024.

THE MAJORITY OF THE PERSONS TRAINED WERE CAREER FIREFIGHTERS/PARAMEDICS EMPLOYED THROUGH FIRE DEPARTMENTS, AMBULANCE DISTRICTS AND ON OF MISSOURI'S FIRE TRAINING SCHOOLS.
