Resources/Self Help


The tough part of being connected with the Wildland Firefighters Foundation is that you are probably here because you have experienced loss and/or trauma. Part of being human, being alive, means we all experience loss and trauma. Loss and trauma can be devastating. The support you need on this journey to hope and healing is here at the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. We care and you are not alone. No matter the transformative life event, the Wildland Firefighter Foundation is always there for our wildland community. We work to bridge the gap of resources not already provided by the government during these challenging and difficult times.
