About US

---

 We are committed to preventing the slide, many of us have faced at some point in time, from becoming an avalanche. Through partnerships with organizations across the country, it is our goal to provide preemptive solutions to enhance and/or restore a healthy balance to the first responders situation and relationships.  There are numerous organizations and non-profit organizations in existence that are doing some amazing things for our first responder community. Unfortunately, much of their focus is reactive in nature, their services are provided after the situation has already spiraled out of control. The H.E.R.O.E.S. Guiding Heroes Foundation exists to keep the situation from spiraling out of control. Our goal is to keep the first responder and their family from having to experience the pain and suffering, to intervene on the front end; it’s about early intervention. 

 We are an organization comprised of first responders and community leaders that understand the struggles and stressors facing the men and women that dedicate their lives to serving others, we’ve been there too. We are  committed to taking a proactive and aggressive approach to address not only the obstacles first responders frequently face, but their families as well. A series of seemingly small inconsequential decisions made by the first responder can have a detrimental impact on their lives which subsequently creates an environment of despair and self-destruction for the entire family. The first responder often finds themselves questioning “How did I (we) get here?” 

 The volunteers that make up the board of the H.E.R.O.E.S. Guiding Heroes Foundation have over a 100 years of combined law enforcement and first responder experience and are intimately familiar with the challenges first responders face. Simply stated, we are a group of individuals that have been blessed. Some of us have been given a second chance at life and living, others a third, and fourth. It is our goal to leave this world better than we found it. We want to accomplish that by guiding our heroes when they find themselves facing adverse life challenges.
