In the demanding world of emergency services, the mental well-being of our dedicated workers is a pressing concern. The toll of constant challenges and high-stakes situations can strain their mental health. Finding effective solutions is crucial for their resilience and overall well-being. It’s time to address this issue head-on and prioritize the mental wellness of those who tirelessly serve our communities.

The Emergency Services Foundation stands at the forefront, dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of our brave emergency service workers. With a commitment to simple, effective solutions, they offer vital resources and programs tailored to the unique challenges faced by these heroes. Through their initiatives, the foundation plays a pivotal role in fostering a healthier mental environment for those who dedicate their lives to our safety.

Let’s climb mountains side by side in 2024
In 2022 emergency service workers trekked Side-by-Side along the notorious and historically significant Kokoda Track to raise awareness of the need to support the mental health and wellbeing of Victoria’s emergency service workers. The Kokoda Trek raised more than $30,000 for the Emergency Services Foundation.

In 2023, Tony’s Trek – One Step at a Time covered 1,500km across the areas impacted by the 2019-20 Victorian Bushfires raising $209,000.

In 2024 we will continue the journey together with Tony’s Trek Side-by-Side, and we are aiming high by heading to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes in the magnificent Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal.

From 8 to 28 of March 2024, we will embark on a 19-day trek, with the amazing crew from No Roads Expeditions.

This is a unique opportunity for all emergency service personnel, family, and friends to hike Side-by-Side and help raise awareness and funds for much needed mental health prevention and early intervention programs for our emergency services workers.

Mental health challenges can often seem like a mountain, but Side-by-Side we can climb mountains together.
