    There is now a single point of contact for first responder mental health resources in the State of Michigan!! Wayne State University is launching the Frontline strong together website and phone #. The website is fst5.org.
    You can go there and get peer support contacts from across the state for yourself or if you need a CISM/peer support team to come out after a traumatic run, get mental health professionals, contact info as well who work with first responders that can help you through a tough time.
    You also can either call +1 833-347-8766 or click on the link on the website and you will be connected 24/7 to a operator who is also a crisis counselor if you are in crisis or need help.
    These operators are not only for those in a crisis, they can connect you with peer support, cism/peer support, traumatic call out and mental health professionals. In addition, they have resources for financial help, child care, substance abuse, caretakers and much more. These resources are for the first responders and their families. Please go to the website and use these resources. Now every first responder in the state of Michigan can get help and resources 24/7!!!.
    Firefighters from the MPFFU helped to shape how this website and phone number worked and designed. If you use this and have any problems, contact info@fst5.org.

    Join Us for Lobby Day 2025 - Make Your Voices Heard!

    Brothers and Sisters,

    Our upcoming Lobby Day on June 3rd, 2025 at 9:30 AM in Lansing is right around the corner. This is an important opportunity for all of our members to come together and advocate for the critical issues that affect our profession and the communities we serve.

    We encourage all members to participate, and we ask that each local try to have at least one executive board member to attend. Your presence is vital as we engage with our legislators on the issues that matter most. PLEASE REGISTER ASAP as we are scheduling meetings with legislators. 

    At this event, we will have the second issue of our Legislative Priorities Book available, which outlines the key issues we are working to address. This guide will help us communicate effectively with our legislators about how we can strengthen our trade, ensure our members' security, and provide better service across our state.

    Interacting with our legislature is crucial to our success. When our members gather in Lansing, we send a powerful message that we are committed to our cause. There are pressing issues that require our attention, including the reintroduction of our staffing bill, the repeal of PA 152—which unfairly burdens some of our members with high healthcare costs—the protection and expansion of cancer presumption, increased military leave benefits, and the EMS Bill of Rights to safeguard our members from unjust discipline while ensuring union representation.

    If you feel uneasy about speaking directly with legislators, don't worry! We will host a Zoom session the Friday before with our MPFFU lobbyist to discuss key talking points. Participation in this zoom session is optional, as is meeting one on one with your legislatures. Just being present at Lobby Day demonstrates our dedication and desire for progress. Your MPFFU executive board and Political Action Committee will also be on hand to provide assistance.

    Our union is committed to working with both sides of the aisle because our issues transcend party lines. We are here for firefighters, period. Our credibility and trust is built by being in the conversation at events like these and the outstanding work on the job that you do! That translates to our members making gains in Lansing and back at home.

    We look forward to seeing you in Lansing! Together, we can make a difference.

    Fraternally,,

    Matthew Sahr, President

    Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union
