The group includes active and retired first responders, along with surviving family members of first responders, many of which responded to the attacks in 2001
Kevin M. Lynch, CEO and president of The Quell Foundation, spoke about how first responders are at high risk of taking their own lives. "The women and men of our nation’s first responder community are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty," he said. "These Americans who have dedicated their life to protecting, and saving ours, are taking their own at unprecedented rates. The deteriorating mental health of our nation’s first responders is at a critical point. On this, the 20th anniversary of these tragic events, it is time we take care of the heroes who are there for us."More Related News
