About

Description

The Ottawa First Responders Foundation is a brand that aims to support and assist first responders in Ottawa. Founded out of a recognized need, the foundation is dedicated to helping first responders grow and providing them with the aid they require. The idea for the foundation came about when Brenda Tirrell, the founder, spoke with a fellow firefighter after a traumatic experience.


First responders face tragedies on a daily basis, and their exposure to these traumatic events takes a toll on their mental health. Research from the University of Regina has shown that 45% of first responders screen positively for mental health disorders, compared to the general population's rate of 10%. Currently, government assistance is reactive, only coming into play after a first responder has been traumatized.


The Ottawa First Responders Foundation aims to be proactive in supporting first responders and their families, focusing on developing resilience, educating about warning signs, and providing the necessary help. By supporting the Ottawa First Responders Foundation, individuals can contribute to ensuring that first responders receive the help they need when faced with challenging situations. Join the cause and help make a difference in the lives of these heroes
