In honor of the First Responders lost to suicide, this First Responder Wellness Event aims to raise awareness by creating spaces to have meaningful conversations outside of a crisis. Various partners and resources that provide ongoing, long-term services will come together this evening to equip First Responders with tools to build upon their resiliency.

The event is featuring a special viewing of PTSD 911. This documentary uses personal accounts to shed light on the profound trauma and hidden tolls of First Responders. More importantly however, it highlights the possibility of hope and healing.

Director Conrad Weaver joins for a panel discussion with local Police, Fire, Dispatch and Behavioral Health representative following the film as we dive deeper into the different ways in which to ask for and receive help. All are welcome. RSVP by April 1st to sozit@police.somerville.ma.us.
