Who heard Travis Howze speak? He left the audience with a call to take action and personal accountability for your mental health and connection with your family. We encourage you to find a licensed therapist who understands your world: professionally and personally, to support you and your family. Our team is here to help.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Western Maryland First Responder Health and Wellness Conference. Begin was able to present and meet attendees throughout both days from our local area in WV, VA, and MD as well as NJ, DE, PA, and DC. Specialized counseling for first responders, military, and high stress professions is a vital component to overall wellness.

Thank you Hagerstown Police Department and Hagerstown Professional Fire Fighters Local 1605 for welcoming us to your event and for your trust in us to support your staff and members.

It was an overall wonderful event with exceptional presenters that we know will impact many lives, families, and communities.

Karlee spent the day with some of Hagerstown Police Department’s Peer Support and Wellness Team earlier this week. Begin Counseling values our relationships with local agencies to provide clinical oversight and consultation for peer support teams and specialized professional counseling designed for first responders, military, and those in high stress professions. We come alongside and support, yet are intentionally separate from any department. Client privacy and confidentiality are prioritized and protected. Thank you for the opportunity to collaborate in this way.
