Aspect Frontline

How We Work

Beyond developing understanding, organisations have a duty of care to provide practical solutions to create more mentally healthy workplaces for first responders and frontline staff. Our ground-breaking Frontline program is being developed with support from current and former leaders of the police, ambulance and fire rescue. Frontline reduces stigma, starts conversations and equips people, from first responders to customer facing staff, with a suite of psychological tools to help them take on the unique mental health challenges of their demanding roles.
