Provide First Responders with the knowledge and tools for self-care to live healthy lives during and post their careers. First Responders include: Police, Firefighters, Paramedics, Dispatchers, and Military. A proactive approach to suicide is needed by providing psychoeducation, interactive conversation, and scenario-based training. Resilient Heroes, NFP was created to inform first responders of the traumas, triggers, and risk factors for suicide. By providing first responders with the knowledge of stress coping and the adversities to trauma, we can provide them with the ability to advocate for themselves and seek the resources available to them. This will offer our first responders the ability to be more proactive and resilient which reduces the likelihood of being in crisis.
 

We can provide the tools to first responders to care for their physical, mental, and physiological  well-being throughout their careers. It is important for agencies and leadership to be aware of the need for first responders to be personally self equipt in order to successfully care for those that they serve. When first responders experience trauma daily, it is only natural for those events to have an impact on their personal and professional lives.

Resilient Heroes strives to provide a proactive approach to suicide in the first responder community. First responders need to know what resources and and skills available and how to access those options, which are provided by Resilient Heroes, NFP.
