"RESOLVE TO EVOLVE: When Healing Hearts Heal Communities
You're not just a first responder. You're a lifeline, a guardian, a shoulder to lean on. But who's there for you when the echoes of trauma linger?
Join us for an transformative 3-day journey into Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) - because your mental health matters as much as the lives you save every day.
We understand the weight of the badge, the burden of the calls that stay with you, the silent battles fought long after the sirens fade. This isn't just another conference - it's a sanctuary for warriors who need respite, wisdom for healers who need healing.
Led by those who've walked in your boots - veteran first responders, mental health specialists, and CISM experts who understand that strength isn't just about endurance - it's about evolution.
Because tomorrow's heroes need today's healing. Together, we rise.
~ Together, we evolve." ~

The 4-1-1 on Service dogs
When Carlos Laguna, was medically separated from the Marine Corps after serving with Operation Iraqi Freedom, he continued to experience debilitating flashbacks, blackouts and anxiety. Those symptoms eased when he connected with 8-month-old German boxer service dog Mattis, whom Laguna named after his former commander in Iraq, now U.S. Secretary of Defense Gen. James Mattis.
