Who we are

Former and active first responders who have been in your shoes, who can relate to your experiences, hardships and battles from the daily grind to the horrific traumas no one should have to experience.

We are a group of dedicated men and women ready, willing and equipped to walk with you on your journey to a successful and meaningful career and home life. Our mission is to support, educate, mentor and listen on your toughest days and celebrate your greatest successes.

What makes us different

Simply put; we know first-hand the unique challenges of being and loving a first responder. We know the feelings of isolation and doubt that come with asking for help. With us, you have anonymity. Our first responder culture is actively changing for the better and the stigma of needing help is lessening. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the unique traumas we face. That is why we are driven to provide a safe space away from the usual agency solutions – so you can find the right fit.

What we offer

Follow-ups

Continued support and regular follow-ups are available.
