The Western New York Stress Reduction Program was formed in 1987
in an effort to meet the needs of the emergency services providers
in Erie, Niagara and Wyoming counties.
It was developed to minimize stress related injury to fire, police,
emergency medical services, disaster and hospital emergency department
personnel – Critical Incident Stress. This is accomplished through
education and intervention - also known as Critical Incident Stress
Debriefing (CISD).
Since its founding, the program has provided defusing and debriefings
to 90 agencies and over 1,500 emergency services personnel.
The Western New York Stress Reduction Program is a not for profit
organization staffed by volunteers. The
Wyoming-Erie Regional EMS Council, Erie
County, Wyoming
County, Niagara County, and Genesee County provide a small source of funding annually to help support
the costs of providing services. The most significant funding is generated
by annual memberships from provider agencies. Stay Tuned Here for Training
