More About the Asher Model

Discover why the Asher Model has become a game‑changer for first responder wellness. In this video, Chief Neil H. Gang (Ret.) shares how this seven point approach is transforming agency culture and saving lives across the country.

​

The Asher Model was developed as a multifaceted approach to the police suicide epidemic; it correlates to the seven point star badge that is worn and each of the seven points on the star correlate to a point in our proactive approach to employee wellness.
