Life is a long journey.
If you need help on your journey then sound the alarm!
Many fine MDFR people are eager to help you find a way to thrive!
First Responder Resiliency Foundation
We exist to make sure your call for help never goes
unanswered. When you or a fellow brother or sister is
struggling or in crisis, you will have access to a number
that is answered 24/7 and completely confidential. The
number above will have forwarding to MDFR Mental
Health Divisions, to third party institutions with no affiliation
to the union or MDFR, and to Command Counseling who
the union has teamed up with to make sure you connect
with the best clinicians within 24 hours of calling.

The MDFR Chaplaincy Program has evolved from a highly
respected ceremonial position to an intrinsic component
of the Departments emotional, psychological and spiritual
wellness programs.
The MDFR Chaplain list is located in MDFR intranet under

you come to me voluntarily, I can get your time covered
should you need to go to a 30-day treatment facility. I am
also on the I.A.F.F Peer support team and available if it is
just to talk.
