Taking Care of Yourself, Before Others.
Becoming a first responder is a job, not your personality and you are not the job. With this being said, first responders have a terrible habit of failing to recognize this and continuously fail to do anything that is not job related. Disconnecting from the job is okay, you need to do it to have something outside of work that is not just continuously go-go-go. This program allows you to do just that.
The following programs qualify for funding through the First Response Wellness Foundation:
-
Chiropractic Services
-
Gym Memberships/CrossFit
-
Meditation/Mindfulness Programs (including float therapy)
-
Art programs that allow for relaxation
-
Horse/Animal therapy
All programs do have a limit in which we will fund. We also will never directly pay you or anyone related to you the funding. The resources must be an official business that we are able to pay in advance, we do not offer reimbursement for any services that you choose to do.
To qualify for this program, you must be a first responder in one of the following professions: Law Enforcement Officer, Dispatcher, Firefighter and/or EMS. You must be a currently active member of a department and must have some form of proof to submit this request for funding assistance.
Do I Have to Pay it Back?
No! The First Response Wellness Foundation never expects repayment, as long as you are actively employed as a first responder and utilizing the membership regularly. If you choose to accept our terms and take on a membership, but are failing to utilize it, we will cease payment and may request back a portion or all of the fee's that we paid.
