On-Site Academy
Community Builders ($5,000+)
These donations were made possible by the incredible fundraising efforts of the MetroWest BarnBurners.
Mission:
The On-site Academy is an outgrowth of the critical incident stress debriefing movement. The field has moved to “critical incident stress management”, including pre-incident education, peer support, debriefings, and when necessary, residential training and treatment, which is the role of the On-Site Academy.
The goal of the On-Site Academy is to lessen the impact of the event or events, and to accelerate recovery. Available on a continuous basis, the On-Site Academy is dedicated to maintaining the health, safety and well being of rescue personnel and their families, and to helping restore them to service in their chosen field, as soon as they are able.
