Firefighters face occupational stressors that most people never encounter, including traumatic calls, shift work, physical exhaustion, and the weight of responsibility. Mental health is not a weakness; it is a critical part of overall wellness and peak performance on the job.
The PBGFR Wellness Program is committed to supporting the whole person, not just physical fitness. That means making sure every member has access to trusted mental health and behavioral health resources, in complete confidence.

- Firefighters experience PTSD, depression, and anxiety at significantly higher rates than the general population.
- Line-of-duty deaths by suicide exceed those from fire and trauma combined in many years. This is a real occupational health issue.
- Seeking support early leads to better outcomes, faster recovery, and a longer, healthier career.
- Your family is also affected by the demands of the job, and resources are available to them too.
Confidentiality: All mental health resources, peer support interactions, and behavioral health services available through PBGFR Wellness are strictly confidential. Seeking help does not affect your employment status or departmental standing.
