First Responder Wellness Programs

First Responder Wellness Program

Being a firefighter, police officer, EMT, nurse, or military personnel is one of the noblest things a person can do. Over one million first responders put themselves on the line every day to protect their communities. But this honorable calling puts first responders at greater risk of trauma and stress that can lead to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use. All the more reason for our First Responder Wellness Programs.

While your mission is to protect the people you serve, our mission at Design For Change is you.

We help all first responders through our First Responder Wellness Program:

Firefighters
Police Officers
Military Personnel
Corrections Officers
EMTs
Dispatchers
Nurses
Public Safety Professionals
Retirees
Family Members of First Responders
