Code One Support
For Fire. Police. Paramedics. Volunteers. Families.
A peer support community built by someone who's been on the job. Free tools, straight talk, and a weekly email for the people who carry the weight of this work.
Over 1,000 first responders and families across Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and beyond
Code One Support exists because first responders have been walking away from hard jobs with nothing for too long. Built by a firefighter and army veteran who has sat with them since 2014 — across fire, police, and emergency services.
First responders are asked to absorb some of the hardest experiences a human being can witness — and then told, implicitly or explicitly, to get on with it.
Most don't need a diagnosis. Most don't need a clinical referral. Most need someone who understands the job, who speaks plainly, and who has something useful to offer — without making them feel broken for needing it.
That's what Code One Support is. A place built specifically for this community — peer-voiced, non-clinical, and designed around the realities of the work rather than the assumptions of someone who has never done it.
Full-time firefighter for over 10 years, and a former infantry soldier with operational service both internationally and domestically. Since 2014, Rick has worked with emergency service members as a mental health worker in grief and loss, relationship, and trauma settings.
Code One Support exists because the tools that actually help first responders survive this job long-term shouldn't only exist inside a clinical setting.
