The goal is to go home safe at the end of your shift, but what does, “safe” look like? Is this what you or your First Responder family member sometimes look like when they come home?

The Guardians back the badge beyond the battle by preventing first responder su***de. We do so through training events that empower leaders of departments to diminish the stigma: “Asking for help means you are weak.”

Protecting The Guardian understands how asking for help allows first responders to utilize the available resources to light a new path out of the darkness.

The Guardians enlighten those in the line of duty to change the trajectory of on-the-job and personal challenges so they may strengthen their road of support to a more promising future. In turn, they become a Guardian themselves by exemplifying nobility to others: “Reintegration to your job of serving the community and again being a functioning member of your family is possible.”

If you’re a First Responder or have a First Responder in your family, contact Protecting The Guardian about Mental Health First Aid courses to be held at your department or in your community. Our First Responders and Licenced Mental Health Clinicians teach you to protect those who protect others. Doing so will lessen disgruntled employees, IA complaints, bullying in the workplace, but most of all, prevent officer su***de 🙏🏼

We just had a two day Protecting The Guardian meeting, attended by several members. It was a great meeting, conversation and idea's. I'm very proud of all our members, it's truly an honor to be the President of PTG and to work along side all of the members of PTG. Also, a big thank you to Chief Patrick Deely of the Middlebury Police Department. Chief Deely is a big supporter of PTG.

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental Health effects all of us, one way or another. It's truly sad how some people take the time to insult, shame, belittle and pass judgement on those of us have experienced and still experience Mental Health issues. To my Mental Health Warriors, be proud of your survival and of your story. God Bless all who died by su***de, you are not forgotten 🙏❤🙏
