Wellness Checks
A ‘wellness check’ is a 60 minute one-on one session with a culturally competent counselor to discuss job stressors, existing coping skills and to learn additional healthy ways to deal with work related stressors. The wellness check is not a fitness for duty evaluation and is not a form of punishment. It is not meant to screen for a mental health diagnosis or disorder. The wellness visit offers an opportunity for all employees to learn various skills to decrease the impact of being a first responder.
The wellness visit is usually completed yearly, and the cost is covered by the department.
