Multiple resources for First Responders for Suicide Prevention.
Our mission is to make available our resource on an international level so that officers from all law enforcement branches (city, state, federal) have a resource and outlet that they can turn to in times of need. We firmly believe that maintaining ones anonymity and confidentiality are essential in providing an environment for officers to reach out for help.
Survivors of Blue Suicide Foundation, Inc. (SBS) addresses the emotional and psychological needs, that arise from the loss of a loved one by suicide in the law enforcement profession. The family and co-workers of any active law enforcement officer or officer retired for one (1) year or less who has died by suicide in the United States and its territories may use the services of SBS.
Since 2016, ResponderStrong has supported the mental health and overall wellbeing of Emergency Responders, including Healthcare Workers, and their families. Working across branch boundaries to represent all who work in Emergency Response, we partner with our allies: researchers, clinicians, educators, foundations, and other non-profits to better support our own. Built for Responders by Responders, check out our Resources and Programs.
Convened by the International Chiefs of Police, the National Consortium on Preventing Law Enforcement Suicide (the Consortium) is a group of multidisciplinary experts with a common goal of preventing officer suicide. The Consortium focuses on solutions to emerging challenges and successes of the field in addressing mental health and preventing officer suicide.
With funding and support from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance and in partnership with the Education Development Center, Inc. and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, the IACP convened the Consortium. Representing fields such as law enforcement, mental health, suicide prevention, families, and academia, the Consortium of multidisciplinary experts and stakeholder organizations has the common goal of preventing officer suicide.
Our mission is simple: prevent suicides among law enforcement officers. We are here to raise awareness and smash the stigma of seeking help.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation provides comprehensive mental health and well-being resources, including those focused on suicide prevention, for all fire and EMS personnel.
The Code Green Campaign® is a first responder oriented mental health advocacy and education organization. Also known as Code Green, we serve all types of first responders. This includes firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, police, corrections, air medical, and search & rescue. Our name is a combination of the color for mental health awareness (green) and the “code alerts” used in emergency services. If someone is having a stroke or heart attack first responders will call a “code stroke” or “code STEMI”. The idea is that Code Green is calling a code alert on the mental health of first responders.
The resources listed for your information only. Seeking mental health treatment is a highly personal experience and a resource that worked for one person may not work for another. We can not make any guarantees about the resources listed. Including, but not limited to that they will be able to help your specific issue, are accepting new patients, accept certain insurance plans, or are still in business.
