S.F. No. 1109 establishes a grant program to provide mental health services for firefighters experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including service dogs, educational classes and support services for spouses and families, and mental health referrals. Grant applicants are required to submit their proposed uses for grant funds, the amount of funding sought, and a proposed budget.
