💔 To the First Responders of Texas: We See You.

In the aftermath of catastrophic flooding across Texas—where over 100 lives have been lost, including a summer camp of young girls—the bravery and heartbreak etched into every shift is staggering. To every firefighter, paramedic, dispatcher, police officer, dive team, volunteer medic, and search-and-rescue crew: you didn’t sign up for this kind of grief, but you showed up anyway.


We see your swollen feet, your soaked uniforms, the exhaustion in your bones, and the prayers you whisper before walking into waterlogged chaos.


At Challenger Point Practice, we don’t just talk about mental health—we live in it with you. From one responder to another: you’re not weak for feeling this. You’re human. You’re wired for connection. You deserve to process, to reset, and to come back whole.


🛑 Before You Burn Out


  • If your sleep is wrecked, your gut feels off, and your fuse is short: you’re not alone.

  • If you’re carrying the sounds, smells, or screams long after the call: you’re not broken.

  • If you’re numbing out with silence, sarcasm, or substances: we get it. We’ve been there.


🧭 How We Can Help


Challenger Point Practice offers confidential trauma therapy for:


  • Firefighters, medics, police, dispatchers

  • Veterans, military families, and disaster responders

  • Those facing insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, or moral injury


We also offer:


  • Peer support training (certified, field-tested)

  • CLIMB Protocol: A one-on-one or small-team reset experience (Texas, Florida, Colorado)

  • Creative storytelling & resilience films for departments who want to capture legacy, not just loss


⚓ You Are Not Alone


We’ve worked in the field. We’ve worn the gear. We’ve lost friends. And we’ve made it back from the edge.


If your team needs a trauma-informed speaker, a department reset, or just someone to check in without judgment—we’re here.


💬 Reach out. Even if it’s just to say you’re not okay.
