Additional Resources:
Links for First Responders (Police, Fire, Sheriff and Emergency Management) mental health support apps that allow people to take confidential self assessments and access addiction recovery support:
* Android App:
Employees have access to the apps on their work phones and will need to get the password from their workspace to give their family members access to the app or to use it on their personal phone. Individuals who download the app without the employee password will still be able to access public portions of the app, but will not have access to the employee portal.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, SFIC Board Chair Kaushik Roy, Grace Cathedral's Succentor The Rev. Anna Rossi, Catholic Charities Derek Silva Community Director Kevin Fauteux, San Francisco Police Department Community Chaplaincy Coordinator The Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer and City Hope Co-Director Rev.
