Mental and Behavioral health support

Members of the Cherry Hill Fire Department can expect to encounter situations and calls for duty that will cause both physical and emotional stress and strain. Members approach their jobs with a supreme sense of confidence – a trait that enables them to go above and beyond to keep their communities safe. However, that feeling of invincibility sometimes allows them to bottle up too much of their emotions without knowing how to manage them.

These emotional times can include, but are not limited to:

  • Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or confused
  • Home not feeling like home
  • Relationship or marriage struggles
  • Dependence on alcohol or other substances
  • Feeling alone
  • Losing hope
  • Losing a loved one
  • Not knowing why you feel the way you do

Your Local Presidents are available 24/7 to help you connect with the peer, mental, and behavioral health support that you may need. In addition, CHFD One Peer Support Members have their direct phone numbers posted in all CHFD stations.
