ABOUT US
Trek2Health initiatives are designed to improve the overall health and wellbeing of the Emergency Services and Veteran communities. First responders such as firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, police officers, search and rescue, and those serving in our defence force, face horrors every day in their line of work that most of us can’t imagine.
Trek2Health is an initiative that was started to support these courageous individuals who make an extraordinary contribution to our community and may suffer from the negative impacts exposed to them through the unimaginable experiences of their professional services. We assist these individuals by identifying those at risk and providing complimentary professional services in an accessible and supportive environment.
Our Services
Complimentary Resilience Training for Frontline Personnel
Our innovative approach to mental health services is based on the concept of ‘green exercise’. We take our clients outside four walls to remote natural areas for team-orientated nature treks supported by experienced guides and physical trainers. Our medical staff provide regular evaluations to assist our clients’ progress and help us optimise our services.
Our Commitment
Strength via Community
First Responders are exposed to unimaginable experiences in their professional services. We will never allow the responsibility of these individual’s mental health to be their own – WE ARE A TEAM.
