Mental Wellness



**Resilient Minds On The Front Lines YouTube Channel**: The Police Chaplain Program has created a resiliency program for law enforcement to ensure there are resources promoting mental wellness.**All Clear Foundation-Supporting First Responders**: To connect with fellow First Responders, receive additional resources for responders and their families, get crisis support, or explore their own wellness.**First Responder Support Network (FRSN)**: Helping first responders and their families get back to life**Northwest Peer Support for First Responders**: Mental and emotional health resources including peer support teams, chaplains, and healthcare professionals for first responders in the Pacific NorthwestAnimal Management



**U.S. Department of Agriculture: Animal Care Emergency Programs:**Animal safety and well-being during disasters is key to the safety and well-being of people. During Hurricane Katrina, some pet owners remained in harm’s way because there were no good options to evacuate with their pets. Soon after, Congress passed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) took on this human lifesaving mission. Animal Care provides technical expertise to FEMA in this effort.Leadership
