The Alberta First Responders Association (AFRA) began as a peer support group on Facebook on February 28, 2023 and quickly grew into a community of 2,500+ First Responders. It now operates as a nonprofit advocacy organization for mental health support & suicide prevention training.
Who are our members?

What are we building?
We are building a community of First Responders that puts mental health support and suicide prevention at forefront of priorities.
