Vermont Center for Responder Wellness

The Vermont Center for Responder Wellness is the leading institution in providing wellness resources and ASAP training to emergency responder agencies. 

Founded by Sonny Provetto, Ground Zero police officer, trauma expert, and EMDR consultant, the VCRW team helps first responder agencies design and implement the wellness programs they need to build mental resilience in their departments. 

Central to VCRW's mission is providing training in the Acute Stress Adaptive Protocol, the ASAP, and early EMDR intervention that can help responders identify and manage their risk of developing PTSD after responding to critical incidents. 

The ASAP training is part of the Peer Support program VCRW helps agencies establish, so officers, EMS workers, firefighters, and other front-line workers can receive support and treatment from a culturally competent and educated cohort of their peers. 

VCRW's headquarters are located in Colchester, Vermont and they provide national and international training.
