Agenda

🕑: 09:00 AM - 09:45 AM
Mental Health and what we conceal within
Host: Landon Moroz

Info: Landon Moroz shares a raw and personal look at mental health, shaped by business setbacks, career-ending injury, and the pressure of high-performance environments. Through his journey—from struggling in silence to seeking help and rebuilding—he explores the power of what we carry within and how it can either break us or build us.

Grounded in his experiences and connections within the first responder community, Landon speaks to the importance of vulnerability, identity, and resilience. His message is simple but powerful: opening up isn’t weakness—it’s the starting point of real strength and lasting change.


🕑: 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
The Weight We Carry: Mental Health, Identity & Resilience in First Responders
Host: Nikki Cloutier

Info: First responders are trained to run toward chaos—but what happens when the call ends and the weight remains? In this honest and powerful session, Nikki Cloutier draws on her experience as a correctional officer and fitness professional to explore the often-unseen mental health challenges within first responder culture.

She breaks down stigma, highlights early warning signs, and shares practical strategies to build resilience without sacrificing identity or performance. Attendees will leave with tools to support themselves and others—and to stay strong both on the job and beyond it.


🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM
When a Career-Ending Injury Starts a Career
Host: Kieran Block

Info: Through a powerful personal journey, this talk explores identity, loss, resilience, and growth after life-altering injury. Blending lived experience with reflection on recovery, sport, rejection, and purpose, it invites audiences to rethink adversity and recognize the strength that can emerge through challenge. Honest and inspiring, the presentation offers perspective, hope, and practical insight into adapting to change and moving forward with meaning.


🕑: 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
The Day Everything Changed: Loss, Leadership, and the Reality of Trauma
Host: Lance Parker

Info: In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Lance Parker shares the impact of losing two fellow officers in the line of duty—and how that moment reshaped his life and leadership. Through honesty and hard-earned insight, he explores the realities of trauma, the cost of carrying it alone, and the strength it takes to ask for help.


🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:45 PM
The Silent Grief of Service: The Spouse Experience
Host: Alyssa Schmidt

Info: This talk shines a light on the often unseen emotional toll carried by spouses of veterans and first responders. Alyssa Schmidt explores the hidden strain, disconnection, and resilience within these relationships—and why healing must happen together, not alone.


🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:45 PM
Surviving 25!
Host: Curtis Hoople

Info: What does it really take to make it through a career in policing—mentally, physically, and emotionally? In this honest and practical talk, Curtis Hoople shares the mindset, support systems, and self-awareness needed to navigate the long-term impact of the job and build a career that doesn’t come at the cost of your well-being.


🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:45 PM
When Service Ends, the Battle Changes
Host: Natalie Forcier

Info: Through real frontline stories, this talk exposes the hidden barriers veterans face in service and beyond. It confronts the unspoken realities of the military mindset, the institutional challenges, and the gaps that leave veterans and their families struggling—while demystifying the path to available supports. It highlights that although meaningful resources exist, those same barriers often make veterans feel undeserving—underscoring the need for advocacy, connection, and trusted guidance that can change—and save—lives.
