First Responders Hope Line
Being a first responder means being dedicated to protecting others. Today, this means being exposed to scenes of trauma and challenges that may leave you overwhelmed and alienated. At times it may feel like no one can understand.
You may put others’ lives first, but you can still make your mental health a priority. Because saving lives starts with your own. The First Responder Hope Line works to ensure that our community’s first responders have access to a lifeline of support, allowing you to speak confidentially with trained specialists anytime. To those who serve, we thank you. And we are here for you.
Call 1-866-4FL-HERO for immediate, confidential support, and visit firstresponderhope.com for more support.

The card is free for everyone and serves as a reusable coupon on FDA-approved medicines. Whether you are insured or uninsured, simply show the SingleCare card and get the best price on your prescriptions.
