WHO WE ARE
Breaking Bread was created by a firefighter with 21 years of service and a mental health nurse with 16 years of experience. We are a community built for firefighters, first responders and their families. For those who have lived the realities of long shifts, dangerous calls, and the silent toll the fire service can take. We know the brotherhood is strong but so is the weight of what's carried home after the calls end.
​
Firefighting is more than a career. It's a calling that demands courage, sacrifice and resilience. But behind the bravery, there are silent battles many carry after the sirens fade. Firefighters are trained to run into the unknown, but what happens after the call often goes unnoticed. The sleepless nights, the silence at the dinner table, the images that never fade. This is where the silence ends. We are here to make sure those struggles don't stay in the dark.
​
We believe no firefighter or family should have to face the weight of trauma, stress or loss alone. Breaking stigma, building resilience, and standing shoulder to shoulder. That’s what this space is all about.
​
You’ve carried the weight for your community. Now let us help carry it with you. This is your space to learn, breathe, and heal - one story, one connection at a time. Together, we are breaking silence and building strength.
IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS
​
Breaking Bread is a supportive community but NOT a replacement for professional help. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, please call 911 or reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
