First Responder Alliance

Background

The First Responder Alliance, addresses the urgent and long-term needs of 9/11 responders and their families through innovative programs and services including wellness and mental health programs, while providing a bridge to physical and mental health support offered through other trusted partners.  

Tuesday’s Children and the Psychological Services Center, C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University have joined together to offer clinical services to the Tuesday’s Children’s First Responder Alliance program.  Tuesday’s Children, in partnership with C.W. Post, has been the recipient of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) grant facilitated by U.S. Rep. Peter King.  This SAMHSA grant has enabled the first comprehensive program designed to provide much needed mental health counseling and programming to the underserved 9/11 Rescue and Recovery workers and their families.

-Career Guidance

All programs and family engagement events are free of charge to 9/11 Responders and their families.  Registrants throughout the country are welcome to enroll.
