50% of Frontline Workers and Public Safety Personnel

Are potentially screening positive for at least 1 mental health condition, caused by work stress

And most never receive proactive support until it's already a crisis. Firefighting is one of the most psychologically demanding professions in the world. Every shift brings cumulative trauma exposure that takes a toll on mental health, relationships, and career longevity. Many face these mental health issues alone:

  • PTSD

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Substance use & alcohol dependency

  • Operational burnout

But you don’t have to.
