Taking Care of You.

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.

  • No! We do not require any financial repayment as long as the person who is attending the services is using the funding appropriately and the money is not going to waste. We will follow up with the company that we provide the funds to regularly to ensure that the funds we are paying, are being used. If they are not, all funding will be cancelled and we will require reimbursement for any funds that were not utilized through the membership.

  • We are always open to evaluating other types of beneficial self care programs! If you want to do something that is not listed on the website, please feel free to email us: contactus@frwellnessfoundation.org and we will look into your request on an individual level.

  • This is based on a few things, as this is not one of our core programs, it is subject to change at any point. With that being said, as long as the funding is available we will continue to cover your self care program, unless you are not utilizing it as you should.

  • Our organization only supports first responders in the United States of America for legal reasons. As long as you are a law enforcement officer, dispatcher, firefighter or EMS personnel who resides in one of the 50 states, we will support you!

  • Unfortunately, the simple answer is no. The First Response Wellness Foundation does not fund anyone who is not actively affiliated with an emergency agency in the role of a first responder.

  • There is an agreement that you must sign. This agreement is for legal purposes only as we do not provide any financial assurance in the event you get injured during the session you choose.
