Compass Huntington

June is PTSD Awareness Month.

Post-traumatic stress can affect anyone, including first responders who regularly face high-stress and traumatic situations in the line of duty. Awareness starts with understanding that support is available, recovery is possible, and no one has to navigate these challenges alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out is a sign of strength. Resources are available through mental health professionals, peer support networks, employee assistance programs, and organizations dedicated to first responder wellness.

💙 You are not alone.

Six-month check-in! Thanks to a generous grant from the Pallottine Foundation of Huntington WV, Compass Huntington has been able to provide WHOOP devices to several local members of the police and fire departments.

These tools help track sleep, recovery, and daily strain, offering valuable insight into how demanding work impacts the body over time. This kind of support allows us to go beyond awareness and provide real, measurable ways to improve long-term health and resilience.

We’re incredibly grateful for this investment in the well-being of those who serve our community every day. 💙
