First responders don’t quit when
their shifts are over.

They don’t quit when they’re
tired or hungry.

They don’t quit on people they’ve never met.

They don’t quit even when they believe
they may not survive the night.

Let’s not quit on them, either.

Our Mission

First Responder 911 Foundation’s mission is to raise funds through meaningful national campaigns that will benefit those who receive the financial support as well as those who donate.

Your donations will be used to address the Prevention and Treatment of mental and behavioral health issues in First Responders.

We believe in the importance of Prevention through education and training as a means to prevent job stress accumulation, develop resiliency to constant trauma exposure, in hopes of mitigating the need for future treatment.

Beyond Prevention, treatment is critical to help first responders find a healthy way back to their lives, family and profession. We are focused on equine therapy utilizing a variety of techniques. Of all the therapies available, we have found horses can have the greatest impact on those suffering from PTSD/PTSI with significantly measurable positive results. Equine therapy is one of the best therapies to include family and friends in the healing process which helps with the necessary ongoing support required to find health, once again.

We also believe in the use of prevailing technology to provide instantaneous national access to peer help or local resources. We are developing a strategic mobile application to be widely and freely distributed to our First Responders. It will be a direct connect to crisis/lifelines for those in need. Additionally, text will be included and finally, connecting to a frequently updated, national data base of people and entities to provide First Responders with help, just around the corner.
