FRCF is appealing to first responders across the country to apply to the Foundations programs, grants and scholarships, including the Foundation’s new Resiliency Program that provides mental and behavioral health support for children of first responders.
The First Responders Children’s Foundation Resiliency Program will protect and strengthen the mental resiliency of the children whose parents protect communities across the nation. These first responders often face challenges shielding their children from the stresses of their job.
Net proceeds raised will be used to help fund a new mental health program for the children of first responders and the Foundations existing scholarship program.
First Responder Children’s Foundation teamed up with Derotic Emergency Equipment in Rancho Cordova, California, to host children and parents for a fun and educational demonstration of the latest, shiniest first responder equipment available and learn what it takes to be a firefighter in Northern California!
