• No first responder should have to navigate occupational stress alone.

    The Drift Forward Project is a non-profit organization helping first responders manage occupational stress through nature, peer connection, and the lifelong practice of fly fishing.

  • Research shows that nature-based recreational therapy, such as fly fishing, has measurable benefits for individuals with occupational stress injuries. By integrating evidence-informed practices with peer support, our program supports first responders

  • There are many ways to be part of The Drift Forward Project — whether you’re a first responder seeking support, a volunteer ready to lend a hand, or a sponsor who believes in our mission
