Mental Health for Heroes (MHFH), 501c3 is a charitable organization dedicated to providing services to those that serve us – the frontline heroes of Pinellas County. Our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics experience traumatic events at an alarming rate and continue to serve willingly for the greater good of their community.

While there are mental health services available to the public at large, there are no programs specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the law enforcement community. Across the United States, less than 5% of agencies have mental health wellness or suicide prevention programs and of those, even fewer are fully accessible due to an absence of cultural competency and efficacy of interventions. MHFH is designed to better fill that gap in our community with competent providers who have extensive backgrounds in first responder issues and concerns.

Applying holistic care to first responders and their families is critical to ensuring their mental wellbeing on both the work and home fronts. It’s our turn to answer their call and give back to those that give so much to us. MHFH is committed to better meeting this need in an impactful way.
