We hope to never need them, but they are always there when we do. First responders and public safety members face some of the most challenging, dangerous, and heartbreaking experiences in their work and rely on resilience to do it all again each day. If their resilience muscle weakens, we’re here to help build it back up!

Thrive! Roadmap to Resilience – First Responder Edition is a two-day conference in the Spring, 2023, in Atascadero, California serving all first responders, designed to strengthen both proactive and reactive resilience skills.
