The challenges first responders face everyday

Behind every emergency call is a provider who carries the weight of stress, trauma, and fatigue. Too often, stigma and limited resources leave EMS professionals without the support they deserve.

🧠 High Stress & Trauma – Repeated exposure to crisis impacts mental and physical health.

🙊 Stigma Around Help – Fear of judgment keeps many from reaching out.

🧰 Few Culturally Competent Tools – Existing resources rarely reflect the realities of EMS.
