With You: Standing Beside Our First Responders
Every day, our first responders—law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency personnel—answer the call, putting their lives on the line to protect and serve their communities. Yet, behind the uniform and the badge, they are human beings who face immense physical, mental, and emotional challenges. That’s where With You comes in.
Our Mission
With You was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: No first responder should face their struggles alone. Whether it’s the weight of traumatic experiences, the toll of long hours away from family, or the silent battles with stress and mental health, our mission is to provide unwavering support for those who give so much to others.
We exist to walk alongside our heroes, offering resources, advocacy, and a community that understands the unique burdens of their profession. Through peer support, wellness programs, and direct assistance, we ensure that first responders know they are never alone in their journey.
Why Our Mission Matters
The Mental Health Crisis Among First Responders
The statistics are staggering—first responders are significantly more likely to experience PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts than the general population. The very people who respond to crises often struggle to find support for their own.
The Stigma of Seeking Help
Despite the increasing awareness of mental health in society, there remains a stigma among first responders when it comes to seeking help. Many fear being seen as weak or incapable, which can lead to suppressed emotions, burnout, and even self-destructive behaviors.
The Family Impact
The sacrifices of first responders don’t just affect them—it impacts their families as well. Spouses, children, and loved ones navigate the unpredictability of the job, often feeling the strain of separation, stress, and concern for their responder’s well-being. With You recognizes that support must extend beyond the individual to encompass their entire support system.
How We Help
Peer Support Networks
We connect first responders with others who understand their struggles, fostering a community where experiences can be shared without fear of judgment.
Mental Health & Wellness Resources
Through counseling partnerships, crisis intervention, and wellness initiatives, we provide access to the help responders need to stay strong both mentally and physically.
Family Support Programs
We offer guidance and resources for families navigating the unique challenges that come with being in a first responder household.
