Modelling for PTSD, Modelling for Change


FIRST RESPONSE TO FASHION: The 10th Anniversary Diamond Fashion Show Gala
On Sept 20, 2025
First Responders will walk the catwalk and model in a one-of-a kind event to raise funds for PTSD therapies and research for our Front Line workers.
​
The recent rise in crime and opioid health crisis have highlighted the traumatic events on our frontline workers causing them to take their own lives as a result of not being able to deal with the trauma. Officers, paramedics, firefighters and the fringe first responders called to these events compound the problem. The paramedic, officer or firefighter first on scene desperately trying to save their co-workers life after they've decided that they can no longer live with what they've seen. The doctors' and nurses' who receive these patient's at the hospital and try to revive them at the hospital. These extremely traumatic events ca result in PTSD making PTSD therapy, research and recovery vital.
​
We want to continue to bring awareness to PTSD and Mental Illness for our First Responders and Front Line workers, especially after the rise in mental health trauma, suicide and PTSD during the unprecedented last few years. This is why we are continuing to support HiMARC (Hero's in Mind and Research Consortium) and their PTSD research through the University of Alberta's Faculty of Rehabilitation with all the funds raised from our event.
We will be gathering in person to support our First Responders by dressing to impress at our 10th Anniversary Diamond Fashion Show Gala on Sept 20, 2025, 6 pm at Sherwood Motorcars located at 3001 Buckingham Dr #155, Sherwood Park.
​
