Hi, I'm Katie! I am a licensed therapist and communication coach, seeking to better understand the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ First Responders. As the spouse of a First Responder and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I have some insights about the challenges and struggles couples face when one or both are First Responders. So to serve our community more effectively, I would appreciate learning more about the perspectives of First Responders themselves.

As you might guess - there is almost NO research on this topic, this community is being dramatically overlooked. So if you take 3-5 minutes to complete this brief survey, you'll be giving a voice to your community and aiding in the development of more specialized services to help the LGBTQIA+ First Responder community build thriving relationships!
