Armed for Resilience: Additional Tools for First Responders Part 1

10/05/20 - 10/05/20

The format of the course is broken up into two learning modules so participants not only gain knowledge and information, but also have the opportunity to practice the resilience tools they are taught in class over a two week time frame. During that time, participants will be exposed to various resilience skills in the categories of physical, mental/emotional, spiritual and social. The unique format will provide participants an opportunity to benefit from "peer support resilience coaching." Research has shown that if we want to make habits stick, one of the secrets to lasting change is found in the power of groups who hold us accountable. Participants will be required to do a small amount of homework and report back to the group each time we meet to discuss progress, obstacles and input from the group to promote successful habit change and improve resilience. You must take Part 1 and Part 2 to receive a certificate of attendance.
