Mental health challenges in the fire service are often described as ‘well known’ and widespread. But do we truly understand what the most pressing mental health issues are, why they persist, or how the mental health of firefighters compares to the general population?” As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknowns—the ones we don’t know, we don’t know. It is those in the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones” (Donald Rumsfeld, 2002). This year’s essay challenges you to examine what makes the fire service unique in its struggles with mental health. Is it the nature of the work, the culture, or larger societal factors? Gaining a deeper understanding of the “why” is the first step toward finding meaningful solutions to these ongoing challenges.

The Mary Graham Children’s Foundation (MGCF) recognizes that helping ensure a smoother transition from foster care to a successful and independent life is to have a stable financial situation and solid support system. We help with this transition by providing • financial assistance to help students pay for college and trade school related expenses (including but not limited to tuition, books, living expenses and transportation) • social support and guidance from a volunteer adult mentor* • social gatherings throughout the year for students to meet other students with similar experiences* We recognize that financial situations change from year to year and sometimes from semester to semester, and if that happens, students are encouraged to reach out to us. For example, if a student ages out and no longer receives AB12 support or transfers schools mid-year, they may qualify for (increased) financial support. *Students who do not qualify for financial support are still welcome and encouraged to be part of the Program.
