• Understand trauma-informed practices
• Communicate with peers who may be struggling
• Using evidence based trauma informed approach to respond, safely, and appropriately to distressed citizens

What fire fighters are saying about our program:
“The facilitators created a safe, comfortable and interesting learning environment. We were impressed with the interactive capabilities of the Zoom classroom and the way it was incorporated into the course. They taught us coping skills such as the 4R Action Toolkit that we will be able to take into our careers and use to remain healthy for ourselves and our families. As members of the fire service, we would recommend this course to anyone involved in emergency response.”
