The Upstream Approach
A private, peer-support wellness app built for the first responder community, and the dispatchers, families, and teammates who carry it with them.
Built to get real support to you fast, without adding friction to a hard day, and adaptable anywhere early recognition matters.
Private by design
What you share stays confidential. Reaching out doesn't require broadcasting it, because trust is what makes people reach out.
Built-in peer connection
Quietly check on a teammate, reach the person you trust, or activate support after a bad call, without making it a big thing.
Tools for the hard moment
Grounding, breathing, journaling, and decompression tools that work right on the device, whenever you need them.
For the whole team
Responders, dispatchers, civilian staff, and the families who carry the load too. Support that includes everyone.
Crisis access is always on
Hardwired 988, 211, and peer lines: one tap from anywhere in the app, working whether or not anything else does. Even with limited signal, you can still call 911.
