Abstract
The REBOOT First Responders program has offered spiritual care for occupational trauma to first responders and their caregivers since 2018. The goal of this study was to evaluate the program with respect to the physical health, mental health, and social health of course graduates. Self-report data collected from 124 attendees during the third session and the 12th session of the course did not show improvement in physical function, but gains were apparent in pain interference and intensity, sleep health, mental health, and social health. Improvement was largely uniform across personal characteristics, course characteristics, and occupational characteristics.
