Mills Fire Department
Welcome to the Mills Fire Department
Employee Assistance Program
The Mills Fire Department has established a program to assist employees in coping with some of the unique stressors involved in first responder work. We want to help provide resources so that employees can quickly, conveniently, and in complete privacy, get in touch with a qualified provider who stands ready to assist with any emotional or psychological issue.
Between July 1st and June 30th of each year, Mills Fire Department employees will be provided with up to 3 hours of services at no cost to them.
To access services, simply select a provider from the group and email or phone them directly. You do not need a referral from anyone else, and you may remain anonymous.If you prefer to see your provider for longer than 3 meetings, you may use your health insurance program to continue services. Alternatively, contact Dr. Jerry Post’s office at admin@postwyo.com for further assistance.

They cannot reveal the content of sessions to anyone without the written consent of their client. Your case will not be discussed with anyone associated with the Mills Fire Department or Dr. Post.
