ResponderRel8 17+

ResponderRel8 … aka Responder Relate … is a peer-to-peer chat app for First Responders to connect, celebrate and commiserate 24/7 with other First Responder peers anonymously (unless you choose to be known).

First Responders are different. And no one understands the highs, lows and in-betweens of your life better than another Responder. No matter the topic, talking to a peer is often the best course, yet not everyone wants to connect with people they know … and for rural responders, there may not be many peers to connect with in the first place.

The team at iRel8repeatedly heard from Law Enforcement, Firefighter, EMS and Dispatch personnel that many First Responders would benefit from connecting with someone else who has “been there, done that” but they are struggling to find appropriate outlets that are trusted and/or confidential.

Maybe your department doesn’t have a peer support program for First Responders or you are looking to supplement your peer support program. If so, this First Responder app is a great resource for you and your team. Some of the topics being discussed now in the app include, resilience, fitness, anxiety, depression, family life, weight loss, sleep habits, post-traumatic stress and more.

The team at iRel8 developed the app with guidance from ResponderStrong, Warrior’s Rest, Global Medical Response and a bevy of line-level and leadership personnel from all branches. There are also more than 100 App Ambassadors in ResponderRel8 who volunteer their time to support users in the app.
