Arleta (CA) Fire Station Converted to Mental Health Facility for Firefighters

A firefighter’s union worked to convert an old fire station to a facility that will help 3500 firefighters, reports Yahoo News.

The California Secretary of State said that he believes that this mental health facility is the first and only of its kind in the United States.

The facility has been repurposed for suicide prevention and classes and will have a psychologist on-call 24/7.

The center aims to ease the stigma of firefighter and police officer culture that may be uneasy about receiving mental health help.
