About ResponderStrong

The mental, emotional, and physical impacts of emergency response work can compromise our ability to be there for our brothers and sisters in uniform, to be engaged with our families, and to protect our communities. However, when we are empowered with knowledge, tools, and resources, we can thrive and grow through this work, improving our lives and the lives of those around us.

Founded at the National Mental Health Innovation Center of the University of Colorado Anschutz in 2016, ResponderStrong is a collaboration between Emergency Responders and their advocates. Our mission is to improve mental health supports for Emergency Responders, including Healthcare Workers, and their families through joint focuses on intervention and prevention. Our site serves as a resource map for Responder-informed crisis and clinical services as well as easily accessible educational content and tools for Responders, their families, their leaders, and the clinicians who work with them.

In 2020, ResponderStrong joined All Clear Foundation as its mental health initiative. In late 2023, we folded All Clear’s content into the ResponderStrong brand and joined our research partner, NDRI Ventures, where we partner with other service-oriented and evidence-based initiatives to further expand our impact. Check out our custom educational content regarding relationships, stress management, and resiliency and let us know how we can better serve you.
