Nadine and Garra traveled to Long Island last week to visit several CARES UP partner agencies across region. Each first responder agency represented a different stage in the implementation and growth of their peer support and wellness initiatives.

It was inspiring to see the commitment these agencies have made to supporting the mental health and well-being of their personnel:

✅ The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office has reached the Sustainability Phase, demonstrating a strong commitment to maintaining and strengthening their established CARES UP program.

✅ Suffolk County Police Department 911 Communications and Nassau County Corrections are currently in Year 2 of Implementation, continuing to build momentum, expand capacity, and strengthen their peer support infrastructure.

✅ Suffolk County Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services is beginning year one of Implementation, taking important first steps toward developing a comprehensive wellness and peer support framework for their members.

Every agency’s journey looks different, but the shared commitment to supporting first responders remains the same. We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside these dedicated professionals as they build cultures of resilience, connection, and support.
