First responders answer every call for help without hesitation. But who answers theirs? This is a Silent Emergency! 🚨

“I was able to talk to someone who understands the demands of the field [because of PWC]. I’ve also learned techniques to help with problems falling asleep.”

—Tracy, PWC Peer Program Participant

Firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, corrections & probation officers, and 911 dispatchers all often carry the weight of what they've encountered long after their shift ends without an outlet. When it comes to their mental health and expelling the weight they've accumulated, far too many suffer in silence. There’s a powerful stigma in the world of a first responder; they’re supposed to be the strong ones, the calm in the chaos. Asking for help can feel like weakness.

That’s why Priority Wellness Campaign exists.

Priority Wellness Campaign exists because we believe no first responder should face mental health struggles alone. We connect first responders with their fellow peers, people who understand the job, the pressure, the trauma, because they’ve lived it too.

It’s free. It’s private. And it works!

Early support saves careers, families, and lives. We help prevent built-up stress before it takes root, before burnout becomes breakdown.

We've set a goal to raise $5,000 for our 3rd anniversary during National Suicide Prevention Month!

Achieving success means that our peer program is funded for another year, ensuring we can provide mental wellness support for first responders, so they don't suffer alone.

Your donation today helps ensure the helpers never have to suffer alone!

What your donations fund

Donations directly support our core programs and the volunteers who make them possible. This includes essentials such as our peer support text messaging software, support scholarships, office space, research activities, outreach (including ads, flyers, and social media), volunteer training, travel, and required insurance.

What your donations don't fund

Paychecks. Every single member of the PWC team is a volunteer. We operate with an all-volunteer staff so that every dollar you give goes directly toward helping first responders who need support, not payroll.

Your gift will be used where it can have the greatest impact, ensuring Priority Wellness Campaign can best serve first responders and their families.
