After a number of suicides shook the British Columbia firefighter community to its core, there was a call for more education and action.

In response to this call, Canadian non-profit Blueprint developed the First Responder Resiliency Program, an upstream mental health support program built for first responders, by first responders.

Over the course of four days at Maple Ridge’s Loon Lake, eight first responders come together at this residential retreat for an intensive and transformative 34 hours of resiliency and well-being skill development.

First Responder Resiliency Program is one of 15 global projects funded by the DGR & Movember’s Veterans and First Responders Mental Health Program.
