Hello, my name is Alan. I am the Founder and CEO of First Response Mental Health. My background started in 2002 when our family was involved in a car accident and I was intrigued by the volunteer first responders that showed up. I signed up to be a part of our local volunteer EMS agency. The next 15 years I worked full time EMS in upstate NY, after which I served as a 911 dispatcher for Horry County, SC. Later on, I worked as a Detention Officer for the City of Myrtle Beach. I am now focused on making First Response Mental Health a place where first responders, medical professionals, and their families can come for debriefing, counseling, peer to peer support, and psychiatric treatment.
In the future, we hope to add other helpful services such as nutritional guidance, physical fitness support, and life coaching.
