Healing Our First Responders

Coming Together to Heal Our First Responders

The Healing Our First Responders program is a restorative experience created to support the mental and emotional well-being of those who serve on the front lines. Through expert guidance, peer connection, and a safe, supportive environment, first responders are given the space to process their experiences, manage stress, and begin to heal. By addressing the unique challenges they face, the program helps participants recover from trauma, rebuild resilience, and return to work with work with renewed focus and engagement.

Support Our First Responders

First responders operate under extreme pressure, making split-second, life-or-death decisions in high-stakes situations. The mental and emotional toll is profound — research shows that 30% develop conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Alarmingly, 37% of fire and EMS professionals have contemplated suicide — nearly 10 times the rate of the general population — and more first responders die by suicide than in the line of duty.
