Surviving and Thriving, First Responder Wellness

This course identifies the biological and emotional reactions to workplace stress, hypervigilance, and trauma to illustrate the impact of a First Responders work environment. This course discusses a person’s support foundation upon entering their career and how it has changed both positively and negatively over time. It also explores the effects of job-related trauma and stress, hypervigilance, and multiple methods of how to take control of your “off-duty” time.

The course is for all disciplines of First Responders (i.e. Firefighter / Law Enforcement / EMS / Communications / First Responder Support Staff, etc) who may have different assignments and duties during any major events, or the Cumulative Trauma of multiple smaller events yet still produce the “Common Reactions to Stress and Trauma” which could potentially impact a First Responder and their family members. Resources and various techniques to assist the First Responder in their journey to improve their mental and physical wellness are also provided.
There will be three sessions of the class at the times listed.
