Discover the powerful intersection of faith and emergency preparation in this thought-provoking video. As first responders face elevated mental health and substance-use risks, many are turning to faith as a coping resource, drawing on elements like God's presence, meaning-making, prayer, and community. With Congress introducing proposals like the First Responders Wellness Act and the Answering the Call Act of 2026 to expand support, and initiatives like the 5-year, $3.3 million National Institute of Mental Health grant for resiliency training, the importance of mental health support for responders is clearer than ever. Explore how faith can play a role in being prepared for the worst, and learn about the latest developments in first responder mental health support, including the $1.2 million investment in Canada for emergency-setting mental health and psychosocial supports. Tune in to find out what happens when faith meets emergency preparation.
