Summary
The CARE for First Responders Act creates a federal program that offers round‑the‑clock mental‑health services, a confidential 988‑linked hotline, and peer‑counseling for qualified emergency responders, including telecommunicators. It also funds mobile crisis units for disaster‑related incidents and directs research on best practices. The goal is to reduce stigma, improve access to care, and lower suicide risk among those who protect the public.
