Leaving the fire service, selling everything and moving from the United States to Costa Rica, firefighter, paramedic and union leader, Andrew Douglas, knows first-hand the challenges and stress that come with serving communities and working under pressure. Navigating his own personal recovery from PTSD, Andrew now has a clear vision for healing others and is addressing the need for accessible mental health support and care. Helping to rebuild lives through trust and belief, breaking down barriers and supporting and uplifting those in need, Andrew’s new app is focused on saving lives together.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

“I think we're truly on to something that's going to save somebody's life. We're taking a different approach than what's already out there, through the sense of community.”
