You carry a lot.
Let's set some down.
The Hearth Project pairs people in high-risk and high-stress professions — firefighters, veterans, healthcare workers, and anyone else who needs support — with certified human coaches, backed by AI tools that help coaches show up better prepared, every time.
The weight you carry doesn't come with a manual
High-risk and high-stress professions face mental health challenges most general therapy isn't built for — and asking for help isn't always simple.
Long waits, mismatched care
Traditional mental health systems are overloaded, and generalist providers often don't understand the specific pressures of your job.
Stigma in high-risk work
Firefighters, soldiers, and first responders often feel that asking for help is seen as a weakness — even when it's the opposite.
Burnout that builds quietly
Healthcare workers and other high-stress professionals often push through until it's a crisis, instead of getting support early.
Unpredictable costs
Per-session pricing and surprise bills keep people from starting — or from staying with — the support they need.
Organizations we work alongside
Collaborating with employer groups, business federations, and professional associations to bring coaching to more people. Interested in partnering? Get in touch.
False starts and long waitlists erode people's trust that help is actually there. Thanks to our coaches and partners, we're rebuilding that — one session at a time.
Since we began, our coaches have supported:

Our values
Human-first
AI supports our coaches behind the scenes. It never replaces a real conversation with a real person.
Confidential
What you share stays between you and your coach. Always.
Accessible
One predictable monthly plan — coaches are paid by us, not billed per session to you.
Evidence-informed
We use validated, clinically-recognized tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 as a starting point, never a diagnosis.
Coaches and clients agree — support built for the work you actually do, not generic advice.
Having a coach who actually understood shift work and the weight of the job made all the difference. I finally felt like I didn't have to explain the basics before getting to the real conversation.
The transition out of service is disorienting in ways people don't talk about. My coach gave me a space to figure out who I was outside of the uniform, at my own pace.
Between back-to-back shifts, I didn't have room in my life for another appointment I'd have to fight to keep. The flexibility and the fact that it was actually built for healthcare workers is what made me stay.
