The Union County Sheriff’s Department and GoMo Health are proud to announce the launch of a new First Responder Resiliency program—a comprehensive digital initiative designed to address the unique emotional, mental, and physical stressors and traumas experienced by first responders and their families and support networks.
This groundbreaking partnership brings together the behavioral science expertise of GoMo Health with the commitment of the Union County Sheriff’s Department to provide proactive, stigma-free support to officers, dispatchers, fire fighters, EMTs, and other emergency personnel.
“First responders face intense challenges every day, often without time or tools to process the trauma they experience,” said Peter Corvelli, Union County Sheriff. “This program is a much-needed resource to protect the mental and emotional health of those who protect us.”
“Mental health is public safety, and we have to treat it that way,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Lourdes M. Leon. “This program reflects a cultural shift—one where we stand firmly in support of our law enforcement officers and emergency responders by meeting them with care, compassion, and real tools to help carry the weight they never asked for but always show up to bear.”
The First Responders Resiliency Program delivers real-time, confidential support through a secure mobile platform, offering:
- Peer-based support networks to build resilience and reduce isolation
- Training for supervisors to confidently address PTSD, trauma, and substance use
- Resources for friends and family members to better understand and support their loved ones
The First Responder Resiliency program content is tailored to the self-identified needs of each participant. It includes daily lifestyle guidance, wellness screenings, interactive assessments, and bi-directional communication to nurture long-term mental well-being.
By working together, we’re helping first responders feel seen, supported, and empowered,” said Bob Gold, Chief Behavioral Technologist at GoMo Health. “This program was built with their voices, and for their lives.”
The initiative is now available to all Union County first responders and is expected to expand to additional counties across New Jersey in the coming year.
