First responders are a family.
A family that is four times as likely to suffer from mental health disorders.
The Ottawa First Responders Foundation provides wellness supports for currently serving and retired Ottawa Fire, Police and Paramedic personnel and their families.
In this family, no one stands alone.

Ottawa First Responders Foundation:
The Ottawa First Responders aims to be the benchmark by which other organizations measure the support and strategies they are providing to foster resilience, decrease suicide and increase the quality of life in the first responder family. By sourcing stable funding, creating a standardized and unified group, providing education within the first responder community, retirees and veterans of the community and externally to stakeholders, mental health in first responders will thrive.
The Ottawa First Responders Foundation aims to augment the services and support provided to the Ottawa First Responder Family by collaborating to provide:
Peer Support
Informed Clinical Support
Education
