Our mission at The Well is to provide appreciation, respect and support for first responders and for the work they do to keep our city safe.
Our programs are designed to create trusted and engaging environments that improve mental, physical, relational and spiritual health for the entire first responder family unit.
Spiritual health is one of the chief cornerstones of our organization.
Our desire is to see transformation and healing in our first responder families. In doing so, we meet our mission to provide appreciation (identifying with their need), respect (prayer for them individually and as a force) and support (groups, conversations, connections), for the work they do to keep our city safe.
What People Are Saying
TESTIMONIALS
"As a first responder, the emotional and spiritual toll of the job can be overwhelming. The Well Resource Center has been a sanctuary for me and my family. Through their counseling services and community programs, we've found a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in our journey towards healing and resilience. I'm deeply grateful for the safe space they've provided for us to grow and thrive."
