Specialized TREATMENT Grants
Mountain first responders are routinely exposed to traumatic incidents, critical events, serious injuries, fatalities, and other highly stressful situations. Repeated exposure to these events may contribute to significant stress injuries, substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other behavioral health challenges. The AMCCF Specialized Treatment Grants (STG) Initiative provides financial assistance to ski patrollers, bike patrollers, and helicopter guides seeking specialized, evidence-based trauma treatment.
AMCCF recognizes the critical role that patrol and guide personnel play in mountain safety and is committed to supporting their behavioral health and long-term well-being. Certain evidence-based trauma treatments may require specialized providers, extended treatment duration, or out-of-pocket expenses not fully covered through existing resources. This initiative is intended to help remove financial barriers to care and facilitate access to clinically appropriate treatment.
