This week, we lost an officer who carried the weight of others’ worst days until that weight became too much to carry himself. To his family, friends, and fellow officers — our hearts are with you. You are not alone in this pain. And to every first responder out there fighting battles the world can’t see — please, reach out. Talk to someone. You don’t have to carry it alone. There is help. There is hope. At Across All Lines, we believe healing is possible — sometimes it starts with a conversation, sometimes with a dog who listens when no one else can. But it always starts with not giving up. You are not a burden. You are not broken. You are worth tomorrow. 💙🐾 First Responder resources: • Heroes Helping Heroes - H3mn.org (verified LE/Trauma therapists) • Blue H.E.L.P.: 1-800-267-2583 (24/7 peer support, family resources, stigma-free) • CopLine: 1-800-267-5463 (anonymous, confidential crisis line run by retired officers) • ResponderSTRONG: Text “BADGE” to 741741 (peer-to-peer crisis texting for first responders) • Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance: 1-855-777-3242 (specific to fire/EMS) Public resource: • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Dial 988 (24/7, free, confidential) (fb)
