David Knott, Founder, Veterans & First Responders Foundation

Linda Kreter and WiseHealth for Women Radio presents the Founder of the Veterans and First Responders Foundation, David Knott. The stressors for those in the First Responder Community are known, but seldom understood unless you are close to a Veteran, Fire Fighter, Law Enforcement, Paramedic or even the dispatcher. All are resilient, strong, servant-hearted people.

Support for First Responders is growing, yet it’s critical to note that many put their lives on the line daily. Their families share concern that their loved ones will return each day, and thankfully, most do. Cumulative stress and trauma takes a toll on the entire family, and often, whether in uniform or not, we have all witnessed incredible calm and professionalism that keeps us safe.

The VFR Foundation is working to create a therapeutic, individualized environment, with equine therapy, police and other trained canines, aquatic therapy, nature experiences with a therapeutic greenhouse, plus individual stay cottages. Building a community of varied professionals and volunteers means more awareness and affirmation for those putting so much on the line. Combat Veterans have additional resources, but there’s always room for one more!
