Nichols Center Launches

Wellness Institute

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Nichols Center Wellness Institute, a groundbreaking initiative focused on trauma resiliency, harm reduction, opioid overdose prevention, and community awareness education.

​​

Building on our successful Impact Stress Resiliency Training program, the Wellness Institute will offer:

1. Expanded Trauma Resiliency Training: Our evidence-informed 3-phase course for first responders will now be available to a broader audience, including healthcare workers and community leaders.

2. Harm Reduction Programs: We're implementing strategies to support community-level harm reduction, including naloxone distribution and trainig.

3. Opioid Overdose Prevention: The Institute will provide education on recognizing and responding to opioid overdoses, as well as information on safe medication disposal through our Drug Free Home initiative.

4. Crisis Response Education & Wellness: We're developing a Crisis Response Education & Wellness (CREW) to empower communities with tools to build strategies for resiliency, mental health safety, and prevention.

The Wellness Institute will also feature:

• Clinically integrated wellness programs, focused on mental health and recovery education.

• Peer-driven group discussions to normalize conversations about mental health, trauma, and recovery.

• Family support programs to enhance overall emotional well-being for first responders, law enforcement, crisis workers and their loved ones.

 

Join us in our mission to create a healthier, safer, and more resilient community. Together, we can make a difference in addressing the challenges of trauma, substance use, and mental health.
