These brave individuals are repeatedly exposed to life-threatening situations and near continuous amounts of emotional stress, yet the stigma surrounding mental health can often prevent them from seeking the help they need. By promoting open dialogue and providing/promoting proper resources we can reduce the stigmas and encourage more first responders to get the mental health and suicide prevention resources they deserve. It’s time to normalize and prioritize the wellbeing of those that have and continue to sacrifice for their communities.COMEDYUsing Comedy to address first responders mental health is a powerful way to break down the stigmas surrounding their own emotional well-being. Humor can create a safe space for open conversations allowing first responders to feel less isolated and more comfortable discussing their own struggles. By using comedy as the backbone of our awareness campaign, we can shift the narrative from silence, shame and guilt to understanding, support and healing. Laughter not only provides relief, but it fosters connections and reminds these everyday hero’s that they are not alone.FUNDRAISINGFundraising to support first responders in accessing mental health treatment is vital in ensuring they receive the care they need.

Your support can make a significant difference in their recovery allowing them to heal and continue to continue to serve their communities.
