Supporting first responders in our local communities.

01

We equip first responders in the Pacific Northwest to care for themselves, their families, and their neighbors to thrive.

First responders are often disconnected and isolated. We connect them to a life of safety and support.

Too many first responders experience trauma and chronic stress that fragment their sense of identity, creating a gap between themselves and coworkers, family, and friends. We equip individuals to care for themselves and their colleagues more effectively, resourcing them with tools that lead to healing so they can better experience and model well-being.

Our Programs

We serve first responders because they experience pain like few others in our communities. We believe they have a unique opportunity to offer safety, security, and peace to our families and our neighbors.

“I just wanted to tell you how much your continued kindness and support means to myself, and my fellow officers. Sometimes just saying ‘thank you’ on a business card just doesn’t seem to reflect the gratitude I feel. Over the years of doing this job, the constant barrage of negativity, have taken their toll on my compassion and empathy. Your support helps restores me. Thank you again!”

The Rest Stops encourage me to work hard because I am reminded of the good people that are in our community. I hope other police agencies get an opportunity to experience this!

Responder Life's Peer-to-Peer training is a great way to equip our team with the tool to keep our team healthy during unhealthy circumstances.

The Responder Life Peer Support Training is the best I have experienced in 14 years of doing peer support. The skill training and practice was the most helpful and useful and the opportunity to learn in a safe environment. I hope this training is offered again soon so more of my team can attend.
