Chiron’s purpose is to be a trusted, respected, and valued resource for those impacted by trauma and serious loss.  Chiron serves as the nation’s first multi-dimensional behavioral health resource center designed specifically to meet the behavioral health needs of military, law enforcement, fire suppression, emergency medical, social services, chaplaincy, humanitarian aid personnel, and other first responders.

Chiron’s success means that every front line responder will be more effective in a crisis and better able to handle the overall impact of an event both in the moment and after they take off their uniform.  Integrating more than traditional best practices training results in less post traumatic stress, shorter recovery times from major incidents and the saving of hundreds of millions of dollars a year in costs relating to stress, suicides, depression, absenteeism, and lost productivity.

The value of Chiron includes an additional benefit in the event of a major national crisis – a terrorist incident or national disaster – Chiron’s best practices will create a uniform approach to crisis management which will complement the training already in place.  This integrated approach will save lives, improve the welfare of our first responders and the citizens they serve.
