Why This Matters

First responders face trauma that most can’t imagine—domestic violence calls, suicides, fatal accidents, and the daily emotional toll of helping others through crisis. These experiences leave invisible scars that can erode mental health, relationships, and life beyond the badge.

While community kindness—a thank-you note, dropped-off snacks, flowers after a hard call—helps sustain morale, lasting recovery requires more. Rest & Resilience Retreat offers that deeper restoration: a fully funded, lakeside retreat where first responders and their loved ones can step away from the chaos, reconnect, and begin to heal together.
