The Tema Foundation

The Tema Foundation

The Tema Foundation is a non-profit with the goal of linking partners in mental health to make a greater impact on the issues facing first responders, care providers, and the important people in their lives. Our evidence-based and/or evidence-informed education and curriculum in mental health and wellness is for first responders, public safety personnel, frontline workers, health care professionals, caregivers and providers–and the important people in their lives. These resources were developed by Professor Colleen Kamps, MA CYC and Howard Conter, MD in collaboration with other accredited health care professionals and first responders associated with The Tema Foundation.

Mission statement

Our mission is simple. We work to combat mental health issues by educating, guiding, and supporting every first responder—civilian or military, every care provider, and every person in their lives. By developing educational curriculums and programs and partnering with like-minded organizations, The Tema Foundation is able to deliver impactful education to individuals and businesses who operate on the frontlines of civilian and military life.
