The holidays can be heavy.
Empty chairs. Names we carry. Calls that don’t fade.

It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to remember.
Just don’t carry it alone.

This season, take care of yourself. 🤍

🚨 Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Trainings — Free for Michigan First Responders & Mental Health Professionals 🚨

Difficult calls don’t end when the scene clears. Many first responders across Michigan have already taken part in CISM training and shared that the tools they learned helped them reset after critical incidents, support their peers more confidently, and feel less alone in the weight this work carries.

These sessions offer practical, evidence-based strategies used nationwide — designed by first responders, clinicians, and behavioral health experts who understand the culture, communication, and challenges that come with the job.

We’re offering both In-Person and Virtual sessions to fit your schedule and location.

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.

Getting help shouldn’t feel complicated.

Many first responders tell us the same thing — by the time you work up the energy to reach out, the process of finding the right clinician can feel like another obstacle. Searching directories, playing phone tag, not knowing who truly understands the culture — it’s a lot, especially when you’re already carrying enough.

We created a simple confidential form to take that part off your plate.
✔ Tell us what you’re looking for
✔ Share your preferences
✔ We send back a personalized list of at least three clinicians who meet your criteria - within 48 hours

No directories to scroll. No unanswered calls. No guessing if someone is the right fit.
➡ For first responders and family members
➡ Completely confidential — one person receives and reviews all submissions
➡ No pressure - you choose if you want to reach out

Whether you're:
• A responder beginning therapy
• A spouse seeking support for your child
• A family member needing guidance

You’re not navigating it alone — we’ll help you make the connection that feels right for you.
