H.E.R.O. Mission

 

Every second within a twenty-four-hour day tragedy happens. Following a traumatic incident, many emergency responders are left to cope with the horrific scenes in silence.  In some incidents responders do not recover and over time experience trauma stress.  Long-term stress can result in Post-traumatic stress disorder, known to most as PTSD, and in some cases depression which may lead to suicide.  Here at Halo Emergency Responder Outreach, we strive to decrease the long-term suffering of emergency service responders and raise suicide awareness and bring an end to traumatic stress for those responders.  Our outreach program will offer crisis intervention services to emergency responder groups such as law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, emergency service districts, the military, veterans, and so many more.   We further, aim to end the homelessness of veterans stemming from the anguish of PTSD and bring awareness to the growing need for housing projects and resources to our neighboring communities.
