About this Event
Join us for this free wellness event designed specifically to address the unique challenges faced by those who serve and the family members who love them (ages 16+). Through interactive, guided discussions and practical workshops, first responders and family members will learn to be on the same team - working together to improve communication, increase awareness of mental health challenges related to trauma and suicidality, and practice techniques for active listening, boundary setting, and crisis prevention/intervention. Lunch and giveaways included.
