• The rate of first responder suicides in our nation is disproportionately high, despite the availability excellent therapists, conferences, and written materials;
• Unfortunately, most first responders will not see therapists, attend conferences, or read related materials;
• However, first responders WILL watch high quality, appealing, and relevant videos ... there is no stigma associated with watching good videos.

The goal of the GY6 First Responder Wellness Initiative is to make essential and vital educational wellness video resources available to every first responder in North America, free of charge. Our mission is to significantly reduce the alarming rate of first-responder suicides.

On April 26, 2024, upwards of 300 police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and 911 dispatchers gathered at the Bristol Event Center in Bristol, Connecticut to hear from specialists in first-responder wellness. The sessions were videotaped and are now ready to be edited and produced into a format that will be appealing and accessible to every first responder in the nation ... and potentially in the world.

Here are two examples of the content that we've created in order speak directly to first responders.

We need your help. To finish video production, promotion, development of our app - we need an additional $300,000. This is where organizations and people as determined as we are come together to break through the stigma and make progress. We are looking for sponsors at every level to make this a reality.
