First Responder Trauma Services
Colorado's Premier Organization for First Responder Wellness
Empowering First Responders, Saving Lives – Together
Join us in our mission to provide essential mental health support and resources
for the brave men and women who risk their lives to protect ours.
First Responder Trauma Services (FRTS) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the emotional and psychological well-being of first responders.
We believe in the power of community support to prevent crises and save lives.
OUR VISION
Despite frequent exposure to traumatic events, emergency service workers are expected to perform their job with sound judgment and perfection without being physically or emotionally affected. We place our trust in these individuals without affording them a culturally appropriate safety net to mitigate the impact of the physical and emotional demands of their career.
Our vision is to be a National Resource Center that provides support and crisis mitigation to all first responders and frontline workers, letting them know that their lives matter when they feel overwhelmed and have lost the capacity for their own self care.
FRTS places the needs of our tribe members first, despite the times that these decision may be difficult to make. We believe that the right decision is ALWAYS right, but not necessarily easy
We aspire to be among the best in the country, providing innovative care from our culturally competent staff and clinicians, and local and state partnerships.
OUR MISSION
At FRTS, we understand the unique challenges first responders and frontline workers face every day.
FRTS supports the behavioral and physical health of first responders, frontline workers, and their families through prevention, intervention, and education. We provide vital tools and 24/7 access to care, empowering them to prioritize their well-being, prevent crisis, and continue serving others with strength, resilience, and a sense of community.
OUR VALUES
FRTS is committed to providing lifesaving services through Trust, Integrity, Transparency and Accountability.
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to prevent and alleviate the suffering of first responders and frontline workers, utilizing the expertise of our culturally competent staff and vetted biobehavioral health innovations, and assisted by the generosity of our donors.
We serve first responders and frontline workers so they can better serve you!
