Group Therapy Treatment Program-Virtual Offering
For the Retired or Soon To Be Retired First Responder

Facilitated by: Rania Naser, RP, RN, MA, BScN
As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Registered Nurse with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), I am dedicated to supporting individuals through their mental health and emotional healing journeys with compassion, professionalism, and care.
Building Wellness Goals and Creating a Social Network
Research shows that a majority of first responders find the transition to retirement much more difficult than they had ever anticipated. Many first responders typically struggle with loss of purpose, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Retirement can lead to a profound sense of isolation and loneliness.
You’ve given your time, sacrificed holidays with family, worked until exhausted and endured exposure to other people’s hardships and trauma. This can take a toll and affect your wellbeing.
What happens when it’s all over?
Our shared sense of community is gone and we are left with a parade of faces in our minds. What happens when your retirement date comes when you’ve been off under WSIB? Our vision of your last shift is taken from you.
