We were proud to participate in the 76th Michigan Fire Service Instructors Association Professional Development Conference in Traverse City — an important annual gathering focused on leadership, training, and the evolving demands of the fire service, including the role of AI in responder education and operations.
Our Support Specialists Jeremy Kurek and Cobey Taylor presented FST5 resources, peer support services, and mental health tools designed specifically for Michigan’s first responders and their families.
They had the opportunity to connect with instructors from across the state, share materials, and highlight how confidential support, culturally competent care, and real peer-to-peer understanding can make all the difference in moments of stress, trauma, and transition.
A huge thank you to MFSIA for hosting another impactful conference, and to every instructor who stopped by the table. Your leadership in training and wellness continues to shape a safer, more resilient fire service for Michigan. 🔥🚒💬
Together, we’re building stronger frontlines — one conversation at a time.
