OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma First Responder Wellness Division announced a new statewide effort called the “Not One More” campaign, aimed at preventing suicides among the state’s police officers, firefighters and paramedics.

Data‑driven approach

The campaign will examine fifteen years of data to pinpoint where mental‑health resources are lacking for first responders. By identifying these gaps, the division hopes to target improvements that will make it easier for those who protect our communities to seek help when they need it.

Focus on accessibility

Leaders of the initiative stress that the goal is not only to expand services but also to reduce barriers that often prevent first responders from accessing care. The effort includes outreach, education and the development of support networks tailored to the unique stresses faced by police, fire and emergency‑medical personnel.

Community involvement

Local agencies and volunteer groups are being invited to partner with the campaign, offering resources such as counseling hotlines, peer‑support programs and training for supervisors on recognizing signs of distress. The division encourages families of first responders to stay informed and supportive, reinforcing the campaign’s emphasis on community and faith‑based values.

Looking ahead

While the “Not One More” campaign is still in its early stages, officials say the data‑driven strategy will guide future policy decisions and funding allocations for mental‑health services across Oklahoma. More information about the campaign, including resources and contact details, is available on the Oklahoma First Responder Wellness Division’s website.
