Supporting those who serve solano county
Solano Family First Responders provides mental health, wellness, and family support services to the heroes who keep our community safe.
Our mission
Our vision
To provide culturally competent mental health, family, and wellness support to Solano County’s first responders and their loved ones — ensuring that no responder or family member suffers alone.
A resilient and connected first responder community where every responder and family has access to care, community, and hope.
our story
Solano Family First Responders was founded by local law enforcement and community members who recognized the unique challenges that first responders and their families face. After years of seeing colleagues struggle in silence, we came together to create a space where responders could find connection, healing, and practical support.
Since launching, SFFR has grown into a nonprofit serving firefighters, law enforcement, dispatchers, correctional staff, and their families throughout Solano County. Through peer support, wellness programs, and community partnerships, we’re building a stronger, healthier first responder community — one family at a time.
