Who is eligible for this training?

This training is only available to first responders who either live or serve within North Carolina. This includes individuals who serve in administrative or support roles associated with first responders.

Do I have to attend both days?

Yes. Our content builds upon itself and we value building a connected learning space, so participants feel more confident trying out the tools in smaller groups. If participants cannot attend both days, we ask that you consider alternate training dates that may work better for your schedule.

How is this training different from the regular Reconnect for Resilience™ training?

This specialized version of our training incorporates context most relevant for first responders and encourages participants to consider how the information they are learning applies to both their personal lives and professional experiences.

How many hours is the training?

This training is 10-hours hosted over two consecutive days. We incorporate breaks throughout the training and always encourage participants to take care of themselves.

About this event

What is Reconnect for Resilience™ for First Responders?

Have you ever wondered why it seems so hard for people in high stress situations to explain the details of what has happened to them? Or considered what more you can do to help support individuals when you meet them, often on their worst day? Do you ever wonder why your body feels so exhausted, but your mind can’t slow down after a difficult call? First responders know all too well what stress looks like - that is why we are offering this unique training opportunity just for first responders in NC!

In this training you are invited to get real about what it’s like to be a first responder and learn more skills to help you carry the load. We make it easy to understand the neuroscience behind why the brain and body respond the way they do during stressful situations. This training gives first responders new skills to add to their tool belt and learn how to bounce back during hard times.
