Help at a Glance
Life is a long journey. If you need help on
your journey then sound the alarm!
Many fine MDFR people are eager help you
find a way to thrive!
First Responder Resiliency Foundation
Hotline: 786-551-4911
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.
MDFR Chaplaincy
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
the MDFR Employee Support Office section.

If you are struggling with substance abuse and you just
don’t know where to turn, I am the person who can help
you anonymously. I help you utilize article 19.9 which states
if 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 am here even if it
is just to talk.
