Responder is a private, mental wellness platform built exclusively for America's first responders — firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, dispatchers, and ER staff.
First responders face extreme psychological trauma on the job, yet fewer than 5% seek help due to stigma, fear of career consequences, and a culture that says "suck it up." Responder changes that by providing real-time emotional support and daily wellness tools — all 100% anonymous, with no data ever shared with anyone.
Our platform includes AI-guided post-incident check-ins, daily mood and stress tracking, grounding exercises for acute moments, and private journaling — all designed around the specific realities of the job. No names. No badge numbers. No judgment.
Responder is live and in use by 200+ members of LA County Fire Department, backed by advisors including a Fire Captain and Peer Support Coordinator, a retired Battalion Chief with 30+ years of service, and a biotech CEO.
Our mission: To protect the mental health of those who protect us all.
