FORTE Foundation was established in 2001 by Bobby E. Smith, a former Louisiana State Trooper who was shot and blinded in the line of duty.
The FORTE Counseling and Training Center provides psychological services to law enforcement officers and other first responders for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
FORTE Foundation offers educational workshops and training conferences specifically designed for first responders and their families burdened by the psychological trauma of dealing with the accumulation of stress, death, grief, and loss.
