First responders sign up to serve. They risk their lives and their mental health to respond to someone's worst day. But who will rescue them?
PTSD911 is a groundbreaking documentary that tells this story through firsthand accounts from firefighters, police officers, and 911 dispatchers — illuminating the hidden toll of trauma and the stigma that keeps heroes from seeking help.
Of the three first responders featured in this documentary, two have since taken their own lives. Only Matt remains. Their courage in sharing their stories makes this film more urgent than ever.

First responders are committing suicide at a 30-40% higher rate than the general population. It's time for change.

365 first responders commit suicide every single year — and that number is growing.

Our strength comes from within our heart, our passion, and our focus — anything is possible.
