  • Testimonials

    “When I was the colonel of the Vermont State Police, I brought Lori Gurney on as clinical support to the wellness program. After my retirement from the VSP I went on to lead four other criminal justice organizations—three of the four reeling from internal moral injury. I engaged Lori to assist at each of the organizations. Without fail Lori was able to make the situations better by engaging with staff at meaningful and personal level. Lori merging her talents with Beth Jacobs creates a support network that is badly needed by first responders."

  • Testimonials

    “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with both Beth Jacobs and Lori Gurney for many years. Their dedication to the wellbeing of first responders across Vermont and New England is exceptional.

    Beth's work providing education and EMDR therapy to first responders since 2016 reflects a deep understanding of the culture, demands, and challenges faced by those in public safety.

    Lori’s expertise in CISM instruction and peer support development has strengthened the foundation of responder wellness throughout the region. 

    Beth and Lori bring a level of understanding of the profession that is normally reserved for those who do the job day to day. Together, they bring a rare combination of professionalism, compassion, and practical experience.”
