NEW YORK, May 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talk to Me Post Tour (TTMPT.org) (TTM PTP, Inc.), America’s premier mental health network for police officers, is pleased to announce that its Post Tour Processing program is expanding its services to include all first responders with a focus on those combatting Covid-19.
First responders are facing new and unprecedented challenges every day due to Covid-19. In New York City, essential workers find themselves having to isolate from their loved ones and embrace the constantly changing workplace realities around them. On April 24th, The NYPD saw this painful reality firsthand as it officially lost its 31st member in the crisis. It is under these circumstances that “Talk to Me Post Tour” (TTMPT), is working to address the mental health needs of first responders during this pandemic and in the aftermath.
TTMPT is a community for first responders created by first responders. The non-profit was formed by veterans of the NYPD to address the need for a peer facilitated mental health forum allowing police officers the ability to seek support and education as well as issue identification and, when appropriate, referrals. TTMPT’s Post Tour Processing (PTP) program is an anonymous platform that now allows all first responders the ability to digitally connect with their peers to handle both trauma and potential PTSD.
TTMPT is expanding its focus in light of the new shared experiences essential workers are facing together. Just in the last few months the platform has seen a drastically increased demand for services especially in the State of New York. As more communities across the country begin to fully tackle the virus, we need the resources to be able to accommodate this new demand. Which is why TTMPT is re-committing itself to assist all first responders and essential workers, at a time where they need the most support.
