We are a nonprofit that strives to provide firefighters, EMTs, and EMS nationwide with the care and support they deserve. Hearts 4 Heroes USA was founded by the firefighter/EMS community who work tirelessly with passionate people for first responders on mental health issues and the associated outcome of untreated stress is a serious problem facing our first responder heroes.
Rates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among first responders are at the highest it has been in decades. Coupled with a rise of critical incidents, these brave heroes are working through compassion fatigue at all levels to keep us safe. This results in us losing our heroes to overwhelming conditions and horrific events. Our Therapy Dogs provide the essential wellness. The Paw Platoon Placement is fully funding the veterinarian care, training and essentials needed for the dogs placed in fire and police departments. Making sure this will never be a budget issue. These canine companions have a big job and our handlers along side them go through vigorous training to ensure this program and best therapy dogs in the departments and community.
At H4H USA, we advocate for mental health and wellness of our bravest on the front line. We stand in solidarity to support the Men and Women who wear the uniform of this community. Founded by first responders for first responders. Our programs provide the ongoing support needed to assist in these challenging times on the front line. Our members work tirelessly to fundraising, donate time, services and provide mental health and wellness care.
Thank you for "Being a hero to our heroes."
