Humaning the Badge presents the Call for Backup® 5K Run/Walk for Suicide Awareness and Prevention.

Join us Virtually on May 6, 2023!

Did you know:

• We lose more police officers and firefighters to suicide every year than are killed in the line of duty
• The rate of suicidal thinking among paramedics is at least 10 times greater than in the general population
• Dispatchers and corrections officers are at a greater risk for suicide due to stress-related issues
• For every military service member killed in action, there are 30 who die by suicide
• The greatest concern of uniformed services personnel is the stigma associated with mental health issues and the seeming lack of support
  

Originating as a campaign from Humanizing the Badge, our unique Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program seeks to address those concerns, and to teach emergency services personnel how to help one another – and themselves – deal with the unique stresses of their chosen profession.
