Why C3Built alongside
Built alongside
public safety.
Our team has worked inside agencies, not just around them.
Consistent exposure to traumatic events puts first responders and military members at risk for a myriad of mental health complications. For these special community service members, our team focuses on providing a safe environment to learn resiliency skills and process difficult situations that may impact their personal and professional lives.

Confidentiality
What you share stays with your clinician.
Clients receiving services through a contracted first responder agency should understand that our primary role is to provide confidential treatment services. Our providers will not routinely disclose information to employers, supervisors, command staff, human resources personnel, or agency representatives without the client’s written authorization unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

From the field
What responders and leaders say
Our team came out of the workshop with a shared language for stress. People are actually using it on shift.
I expected another lecture. Instead we got practical tools and someone who clearly understood the job.
Having a clinician who knows first responder culture meant I did not have to explain the basics. We got to the real work quickly.

Our providers will not routinely disclose information to employers, supervisors, command staff, human resources personnel, or agency representatives without your written authorization, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.
