Cypress Creek Hospital’s Honor Strong Program Launches Confidential Online Contact Option in Response to Recent Officer Suicides
 
Technology Platform Enables First Responders to Confidentially Ask for Help When in Crisis


Houston, TX (April 21, 2020) – In response to a recent increase of suicides in the First Responder community, Cypress Creek Hospital’s Honor Strong Program announced the addition of an online contact tool that is now available for First Responders who are in crisis. Our online contact option allows First Responders to ask for help by confidentially submitting an online inquiry to Honor Strong Program Staff. Cypress Creek Hospital’s Honor Strong Program also offers First Responders a direct, private and dedicated referral line that is separate from our main hospital referral lines. First Responders may call our direct referral line at (281) 995-1475; staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
 
About Cypress Creek Hospital’s Honor Strong Program
The Honor Strong Program at Cypress Creek Hospital is a resiliency focused, dedicated, acute inpatient program created to address the unique symptoms experiences by law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency medical personnel, active duty military members, veterans, and those serving on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis.
 
First Responder treatment focuses on connecting each professional with others experiencing similar challenges. We begin addressing the lower levels of trauma and building resiliency skills to confront traumatic events. Our trauma informed, resiliency focused treatment model blends Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and prolonged exposure.
 
Unique features of the Honor Strong Program include
  • Clinicians that are certified First Responder Counselors.
  • Unit staff receive continuous training to better understand the First Responder culture.
  • VIP, expedited admissions process.
  • Dedicated first responder liaison available 24/7.
  • Dedicated first responders unit & staff.
  • Daily meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), which can be ordered from our daily menu created specifically for First Responder.
 
We are committed to our mission to assist First Responders in their recovery. We serve those who serve and honor their strength in their path to recovery.
