What to Expect During Your Stay

You don’t have to be the one on the front lines to carry the trauma. Whether you’re participating while a loved one is in care or seeking support for yourself, our family program gives you tools, clarity, and space to heal.


  • Access to therapy and education while your loved one is in treatment

  • Optional short-term residential stays for family members (spouses, adult children)

  • Virtual and in-person sessions built around the Six Dimensions of Wellness

  • Focus on vicarious trauma, role strain, emotional burnout, and boundary work

  • Guided family sessions to repair connection, build understanding, and set shared goals

  • Post-treatment support and continued care planning

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.

First Responder Families

Being part of a first responder's family can be stressful and cause constant stress and vicarious trauma. Chateau can help. Our programs are designed to support spouses, families, and dependents of first responders with the sets of issues that affect the home life of responders. 

Program Focus for Families

Families often bear the invisible weight of a loved one’s service. Our program supports family members through education, therapy, and structured support—empowering you to heal your own wounds and restore connection.


  • Vicarious trauma and secondhand stress

  • Emotional burnout from caregiving or walking on eggshells

  • Role confusion and codependency

  • Grief and fear after witnessing a loved one’s decline

  • Boundary issues, people-pleasing, and overfunctioning

  • Feeling unseen or unsupported by the system

  • Disrupted parenting roles and family structure

  • Anger, resentment, or emotional disconnection in relationships
