What We Do....

H.O.P.E Comfort Blankets:

Our H.O.P.E Blankets are a symbol of comfort, warmth, and connection for a First Responder.
We are Honored to have On-Site Academy, Mclean's LEADER Program, and Rebuilding recovery center be the recipients of our H.O.P.E Blankets.
Any First Responder who attends either one of these residential treatment programs will receive a blanket, and get to take it home with them.  It will help serve as a reminder to continue on their Healing Journey.

H.O.P.E First Responder Family Member Support Group:

The Purpose of this group is to Connect Families; Parents, Siblings, and Spouses of First Responders to one another.  
This Support Group provides information that will help Family Members better understand how a human being reacts to trauma, recognize potential warning signs of a mental heath crisis, how to improve communication, approach conversations, and what resources are available to help guide First Responders and Family Members through struggle to wellness and familial harmony. 

This is a Family Member Support Group - Not a group for First Responders.  
If you are interested in a First Responder Support Group please contact us & we can guide you to one in your area.

H.O.P.E Beyond the Badge Podcast:

A weekly podcast where we interview guests to discuss First Responder Mental Health & Wellness.  Guests include Current & Former First Responders who have experienced Traumatic Events and Critical Incidents in the line of duty,  struggled as a result, and found a way to recover and thrive in the aftermath.  We also interview First Responder Family Members, Suicide Loss Survivors, First Responder Advocates, Public Speakers, Trauma Experts, and Culturally Competent Clinicians.
