First Responder Details

Our recommended providers have agreed and are eager to help you heal and be brought back to a healed state of mind. 

 We know the stressful, sometimes horrible things you witness just because of what you do, and it’s time that you get help, private help.

GRAMI has designed a system so that any First Responder can participate and bypass your organization administratively to benefit from this service.

GRAMI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established January 25th, 2022. Ms. Adina B. Peyton founded it after her son was shot 16 times following a suicidal standoff with law enforcement on November 17, 2020. Ms. Peyton currently serves as Executive Director of GRAMI.

This is how it will work.

A First Responder feels that they might need some mental health counseling.

This might be due to marriage stress due to job trauma, an injury sustained, or just the fact that you witness events daily that cause depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc).

After reviewing the providers, if one is a good fit for you, you may call the therapist's listed number and make an appointment, identifying yourself, if agreeable, as a first responder. This will enable the therapist to move you to a spot that might allow you to get help sooner.

If you are already seeing a therapist within your organization or Chain of Command, or if you have a therapist who you believe is licensed and practicing and could benefit your mental health journey, you may (or have them) contact GRAMI (Ms. Adina B. Peyton or another representative), and we will start the process of adding them immediately to our list of therapists.

Once you and your new therapist have set your appointment, arrive at the office as you normally would.

GRAMI will cover your co-pay and any additional charges that your insurance does not cover after it has been filed, not to exceed $1,000 per First Responder. You will not have to interface with GRAMI at all after we have ensured that your therapist is on the list. GRAMI adamantly desires confidentiality for the First Responder, and we will ensure that this experience is safe and valuable to you.

We'd like to ask you to help us improve this program by completing an anonymous survey. This survey won't be filled out, so it's completely confidential. It will help us understand what part of the process we might need to improve and also how well your therapist served you. You will be able to leave the survey with a stamped envelope that only you will see. Please complete the form and drop it back in the mail within 5 days.

Although first responders are not required to interface with GRAMI, if they have questions at any time, they may call the Executive Director directly at 256-529-0140. We hope to serve you and help you quickly find the resources you need. Any additional questions you need to address here may be sent to Grami@GramiUs.org.
