Harford County launches Lighthouse Health and Wellness, a free mental health and wellness app for first responders.
First responders regularly face life-or-death situations, putting them at a higher risk for mental health issues. With more than 2,800 career and volunteer fire and EMS responders, 911 telecommunicators, and law enforcement officers in Harford County, the Cassilly administration is offering a new app to help support their physical and mental health.
The Lighthouse Health and Wellness app connects first responders and their families to resources tailored to their needs, including events, articles, and daily messages of support. This anonymous and confidential app will be made available at no cost to first responders through their respective agencies, with a code that can be used by the responder and/or family members.
"First-responders deal with life's tragedies every day, often putting themselves at risk, physically and emotionally," County Executive Bob Cassilly said. "We're providing this free app to help them care for their own wellbeing, just as they care for our citizens in Harford County."
