Every day, they run toward tragedy and danger, not away from dangerous situations. While first responders are committed to taking care of our health and safety, they need to pause and prioritize their well-being, too. During First Responder Wellness Week, they should rest, reset, and reach out. Strength isn’t just physical — it’s knowing when to care for yourself.
Here are some resources for any of our first responder partners in need:
• Text BADGE to 741-741
• Call Safe Call Now: (206) 459-3020
• Call the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: 988
• Call CopLine: 800-267-5463
• Visit 1sthelp.org
• Join the Firefighter Support Group, every second and fourth Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room C near the Busey Auditorium at Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, MS.
This week, we simply say “thank you.” Please join us in offering a kind word or a shoulder (or ear) of support to help make a difference.
