What we do · For those who serve & their families

What we

actually do.

Four ways Honored 25 stands behind first responders, veterans and military members, and the families they come home to.

01 — Mental health & wellness

Talk to someone

who gets it.

Licensed therapists and counselors on standby for first responders, military members and their families. A safe, confidential place to talk and get plugged in, active or retired, anonymously and in addition to what your department already offers.

Counselor connection when you need it

Ongoing wellness resources

Support for spouses, partners and kids

Peer connection with people who’ve been there

02 — Direct assistance

When a hard season

hits home.

Practical help for first responder and military families when life gets heavy, from unexpected emergencies to the holidays. [PLACEHOLDER: what assistance covers and how families are referred.]

Emergency help for families in crisis

Holiday relief

Help navigating resources after trauma or loss

03 — Events & community

Show up.

Together.

Unburdened is our flagship event, but we’re out in the community all year: blood drives, station visits and appreciation and wellness events that bring heroes and their families into the same room.

04 — Campaigns

One need.

One goal.

Focused drives that fund something specific, like a PTSD service dog for a first responder. Every campaign has a clear goal, live progress and a report back when it’s done.
