HEART 9/11 Presents the SMART Program at the 2022 NASRO Conference


  • Nashville, TN USA (map)

HEART 9/11 presented "Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) for First Responders" at the 2022 National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) conference in Aurora, CO. This program provides first responders with self-care tools to decrease, regain a sense of control, and enhance their quality of life. The SMART program teaches stress warning signs, coping strategies, mindful awareness, how to create an adaptive perspective, and embracing a healing state of mind. Agencies benefit by first responders having more reasoned decision making, enhanced performance, increased productivity, improved interactions with the community, better relationships with colleagues, and a reduction in sick time. This program is based on scientific research and has a proven clinical efficacy record. It can be used as a pro-active healthcare educational tool or a reactive tool for veteran officers experiencing a critical incident or the effects of the cumulative job experiences.
