First H.E.L.P

Each day, First H.E.L.P. strives to uphold our mission by using the values in our name. Our goal is to forever HONOR those we have lost to suicide, EDUCATE our active first responders and their families, LEAD the movement to #SmashtheStigma, and PREVENT the number of first responder suicides from increasing. What are you doing to Honor, Educate, Lead, and Prevent? https://lnkd.in/gRJXjD6G

Seats are filling up quickly! Don’t miss out on an incredible training led by Dr. Conn and her team of expert peer supporters. Join us and be part of an enriching experience!

Next Saturday is Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, a day in which suicide loss survivors can come together to find connection, understanding, and hope through their shared experience. AFSP will be hosting a variety of events in Nevada, all free of charge! Sign Up to Attend: https://lnkd.in/gA8Sq4Ri Not in the area? Find an event closer to you! ?? https://lnkd.in/dYK-pG7

Sometimes, a spark is lit that simply cannot be extinguished. Officer Patricia Swank was part of that spark, as were generations before her. Now, her brother is carrying the light, and her star, as he steps into the ranks of the Chicago PD. May you find success, solace, and comfort in serving your community while your sister watches over you. We wish you the best of luck in your new career, Officer Ryan Clancy!

Join Joe Willis as he embarks on the 2024 Ruck Challenge! You can sign up to walk with him to honor our first responders lost this year to suicide, or just follow along and show your support! Joe will be honoring our first responders each day for the rest of the year with a goal of raising $10,000! Keep sharing and donating!!! https://lnkd.in/g44BJJfS

Today’s #IWillListen Ruck for First H.E.L.P honored North Dakota’s first responders with a two-mile walk. I shared the "Take a Break" graphic, which suggests using even a minute to recharge. Intentional breaks, like mindful breathing or a quick stretch, help build resilience. Let’s support each other in finding wellness within limited time. What do you do to reset? Share your ideas—let’s learn new ways to stay balanced and "fit for function, ready for life" even on busy days!
