In partnership with CMHA Kelowna, Kelowna Fire Department and Canadian Red Cross, we have developed a comprehensive mental health and wellness resource package designed for first responders, their families, and volunteers. This collection of tools, strategies, and education materials is tailored to support wellbeing both on and off the job.
The purpose of these resources is to provide low-barrier, easily accessible information that can be explored with autonomy and dignity. Whether you are looking to strengthen your own resilience, support a colleague, or share resources with a loved one, this hub allows you to find and download materials within just a few clicks. We want to give back to the community that protects us to ensure first responders and their families can quickly locate what is most relevant to them—whether in moments of need or as part of ongoing wellness practices.
This resource hub is designed to be something you can easily return to, share with others, and trust as a practical guide to mental health and wellness in the first responder community.
