About this Event
We ask that you please consider showing your support for the first responders who protect our communities. It is difficult to imagine what it takes to show up to a job where you often see people on their worst days and are continuously exposed to trauma, death and violence. These community members need our help and support so they may identify and recognize the need for supportive mental health treatment and community engagement.
End the Stigma – Help first responders realize it’s okay to ask for help.
Emergency responders are out in the field dealing with extreme social unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing opioid epidemic (which has worsened during the pandemic), on top of all of their other catastrophic calls- hostage situations, motor vehicle accidents, rapes, murders, building fires, response to hurricanes and wildfires, and the list goes on. At the present time, suicides among emergency responders are greater in number than those who perish in line of duty. At this time of such a national crisis, we need our first responders.
We need to have trained people who can come to our aid, in our time of need. AND, they need to be healthy in order to best help each citizen in need.
