Rooted In strength. growing towards the future.
In the words of C.G. Jung, "No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell." Our roots represent our past and the integration between things both positive and negative. They develop our root structure and perceptions. Our growth towards the future requires an inspection of the roots. Help us grow first-responders to their highest heights.
First responders are at an increased risk for mental health issues. Studies indicate that more firefighters and police officers die by suicide than in the line of duty, with rates of depression and PTSD up to five times higher than the general public.
The average person may encounter up to three traumatic events annually. In contrast, a first responder could experience up to 700 traumatic events over a 20-year career.

" He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported with the later. "
— Henry Fielding
