How Chateau Helps
When one person serves, the entire family serves—and often carries invisible wounds. Our Family Support Program provides education, therapy, and emotional support for loved ones of first responders. Whether your family member is in treatment or you're seeking care for yourself, you're not alone.

Police & Law Enforcement
We offer specialized treatment for those who have dedicated their lives to protect and serve the public. Resiliency education is a part of our core curriculum in order to assist law enforcement personnel with managing stress, improving relationships and decreasing trauma symptoms.

Firefighters & Dispatchers
At Chateau, we believe that firefighters are some of the most selfless people in the world. They put their lives on the line every day to save others, and we are here to help you restore balance in your life and provide the support, education and resiliency that can help get your life back on track.
