Getting Better Together Workshop

October 17, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Designed for firefighters, first responders and their spouses - adult family members (parents, siblings, or adult children) are also welcome to attend.

Firefighters and first responders carry the weight of trauma and high-stress calls - and so do the spouses who support them at home. Getting Better Together is a workshop built specifically around the realities of first responder life, giving firefighting families real tools to strengthen their relationships and protect their well-being together.

What you will gain:

• A better understanding of how first responder culture - the shift work, the calls, the unspoken rules - shapes family life and relationships
• Practical techniques for managing stress and secondary trauma specific to first responder households
• Stronger communication skills within the family
• A safe space to talk openly about mental health, free of the stigma that persists in first responder culture
• Sustainable self-care habits you can actually stick with
• Ongoing support resources built for first responder families, to lean on long after the workshop ends

Come together, reconnect, and leave with a stronger foundation to face the demands of the job - as a couple and family.

Lunch sponsored by National Police Federation (NPF).
