Access Options Overview

Running Your Own Sessions Is Easier Than You Think

NeurOptimal® was designed to be user-friendly. Many organizations choose to train a few staff members and begin running sessions in-house - no therapist or clinical background required. With a short learning curve and support available, teams can quickly gain confidence and independence offering this tool to their members. It’s a practical, convenient and empowering way to expand access without ongoing external costs.

Making the Right Fit Work for You

Each organization approaches wellness differently. Some prefer working with external providers, while others find value in managing access directly. We’ve seen all approaches make a difference. What matters most is that first responders are supported in ways that are accessible, sustainable, and free of stigma.

In-Office Sessions work well when only a few individuals need occasional support and traveling to a provider is feasible.
On-Site Practitioners offer expert guidance while removing the need for internal management.
System Rentals help teams experience neurofeedback before making longer-term commitments.
System Ownership makes sense for organizations aiming to embed access into their day-to-day routines and culture.
Some agencies combine these approaches depending on their size, geography, or wellness program goals.

Why Some Agencies Choose In-House Access

Having a system available on-site allows for immediate access following difficult calls, flexible scheduling, and long-term use across teams. While it involves upfront investment, it can be cost-effective over time and empowers responders to use the technology on their own schedule - privately and without barriers.

Accessible any time, in any location
Supports mental recovery after critical incidents
Encourages normalization of self-regulation tools

Why Some Organizations Prefer Working with a Provider

For many agencies, partnering with an experienced neurofeedback provider offers a straightforward and low-risk way to get started. This option is especially helpful when internal capacity is limited, or when teams are new to brain training.

Offers access to a trained professional who can guide sessions and answer questions
Reduces the need for internal logistics or staff oversight
Ideal for early-stage implementation or when demand is occasional
Supports teams that prefer structured, guided experiences before taking on equipment management

Some agencies find that starting with a provider builds familiarity and trust, laying the groundwork for future expansion if needs grow over time.

Considering Broader Impacts

Agencies often look beyond cost-per-session when considering how neurofeedback fits into long-term wellness planning. Potential outcomes include:

Reduced leave and faster recovery
Improved focus and decision-making under pressure
Strengthened team resilience and peer support
Lower long-term costs from absenteeism or turnover

Every agency must weigh the options in light of their needs, resources, and culture. HeroBrain exists to support those conversations and help you find the model that fits best - without pressure or prescription.

What matters most is that first responders have the tools they need to stay steady, supported, and strong.
