JADA’S FIRST RESPONDER PLEDGE
I respect that when first responders need to talk, they often need to talk to someone as soon as possible. That’s why I make it a priority to meet with you as soon as possible when a need arises. I also pledge to keep myself current in the latest research for first responder emotional wellness.
