It has been our privilege to provide critical incident response support after a Potentially Traumatic Event (PTE) to dozens of agencies to facilitate recovery.

This training shines light on what we have learned partnering with peer teams and chaplains in the trenches of the early days post incident, including when to NOT provide outside agency assistance and how to educate departments on the broad scope of support options.

🚨 Natural Recovery post PTE is the NORM. 🚨

We equip departments and teams with the confidence and choices to inform the type and timing of support for their members.

🚨 Virtual and in-person training options are available.

We have been honored to provide group and individual support services to agencies outside the first responder umbrella for a variety of incidents:
🚨 sudden death of an employee
🚨 active shooter/workplace violence event
🚨 complex legal/media stressor
🚨 patient outcomes/critical incidents for healthcare providers

2026 Greater Cincinnati EMS Conference ⛑️

Come find our table - we’d love to chat at the Heroic Deeds Responders in Faith Conference

Hear It From Those Who’ve Been There.

“It rekindled the fire in my soul—spiritually and emotionally.”
“I realized I don’t have to live with guilt and shame anymore. I needed to forgive myself because I am forgiven.”
“I left revived, charged up, and more determined to share the hope I have in Christ.”

This is what first responders are saying after attending the Responders in Faith Conference.

Men and women who carry trauma, exhaustion, and responsibility every day came together and discovered something powerful:

They are not alone

They were not made to carry this by themselves

And true boldness doesn’t come from grit alone—it comes from Christ

“I saw a strong community that doesn’t fear the stigma around mental health.”
“Being surrounded by people who share the same struggles changed me in such a good way.”
“It was all in God’s timing. I needed that break and that perspective.”

Faith was strengthened and warriors walked away ready to stand strong again.

This isn’t just another conference. This is a reset. A refuel. A reminder of who you are and who you serve.

Join us at the 2026 Responders in Faith Conference.

My daughter’s favorite way to support the The Chip Terry Fund for First Responders 🏒

I asked her when did fighting become sanctioned and she said “always mom it’s hockey”…

“The world does not need a quieter version of you…your light illuminates a way for others.

What if it feels big because it was meant for you.”

Inspired, grateful, and connected at the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce second annual Anderson Women’s Event with Emily Jane.

Thank you to the AWE committee and the vendors for hosting a truly special event for us women ♥️

I am going to work on “dropping out of your head and into your heart” when I greet my daughter off the bus today.
