A First Responder's Life Cannot Be Compromised
We are a resource for first responders and their families to speak confidentially with former law enforcement officers, fire fighters, first responder professionals, and/or mental health care providers who are familiar with your line of work. All communications are confidential, with comprehensive assistance and planning for mental health support for first responders and their families, as well as all emergency services personnel and their families. No first responder is alone. There is help. We are here.
All inquiries will be responded to within 24 - 48 hours. If you are in crisis and need immediate assistance, please consider using one of the following resources:

First Responder Whole Health Initiative
Our program provides opportunities for first responders and their families to access free educational seminars/webinars focusing on mental health, physical health, family health, spiritual health, and overall well-being. In addition to educational opportunities, we invite our first responders and families and join us in weekly wellness activities, both online and in person.
Education
Survive First offers educational seminars for departments and agencies, focusing on mental health and overall wellness in the first responder community. Knowledge is Power. Survive First believes that education is the master key to breaking the silence and stopping the stigma of mental health issues in first responders. Contact us for more information.
Peer-to-Peer Support
Survive First offers peer support to first responders and family members in need of speaking to a peer who is familiar with the responder line of work.
