For First Responders & Their Families

Our purpose is to improve wellness and reduce the risk of mental health crisis for first responders and their family members and to provide services specific to job-related stressors experienced by workers in this field and their families.

The Peer Support Network will allow first responders to contact someone for assistance, anonymously if they wish, at any time of the day or night. Trained peer supporters can aid their peers in a time of crisis de-escalating the situation and connecting them with appropriate resources. 

A Network of Strength, Compassion and Understanding
