This weekend, remember this:
Rest isn’t a luxury.
It’s part of staying well.

Even if your “rest” looks like five minutes in the truck, a peaceful sunrise after a long night, or simply shutting your eyes and exhaling… it counts.

Small moments still heal.
And you deserve every one of them.

⭐ Feature Friday — Meet Our Executive Director, Eric Stephenson ⭐

First Response Peer Support Network (FRPSN)

Today we’re honored to shine a light on someone who doesn’t just serve behind the scenes — he lives our mission every single day.

Eric Stephenson, Executive Director of FRPSN, has dedicated his life to supporting those who serve. With decades of experience in the fire service, EMS, and public safety community, Eric brings a rare combination of leadership, lived experience, and a heart for healing.

Whether he’s answering a late-night call, connecting someone to the resources they need, or simply reminding a struggling responder that they are not alone, Eric leads with compassion, strength, and unwavering commitment.

He believes that peer support isn’t just a program — it’s a lifeline. And because of his direction, countless responders and families now have a place to turn when life becomes overwhelming.

Please join us in thanking Eric for his leadership, his heart, and his dedication to building a safer, stronger, more connected first-responder community.

Eric, we see you. We appreciate you. And FRPSN is stronger because of you.

Every day. Every shift. Every call. Every story shared. 💛

🚑 Wellness Wednesday Wisdom 🚒

Wellness isn’t a destination—it’s a path we walk every day, shift after shift, call after call, and when we finally make it home to the ones who matter most.

It’s found in the small choices: taking a steady breath after a tough run, reaching out when the weight feels heavy, pausing long enough to reset, or showing a little grace—to yourself, your crew, and your family.

Progress, not perfection, is what keeps us going.
So keep moving forward—one mindful step, one shift, one day at a time.

🚑 Tuesday Truth: Healing Isn’t a Straight Path

> 💬 Tuesday Truth: Healing isn’t a straight path.
Some days you’ll feel like you’re moving backward — but every step, even the hard ones, is part of the journey.
Healing isn’t about perfection; it’s about persistence. Keep showing up, even when it’s messy. 💪

“Monday’s a reminder that strength isn’t about having it all together—it’s about showing up, even when you’d rather not. 💪
You’ve faced worse, and you’ll rise again. One shift, one call, one day at a time.

🙏 Sunday Reflections

Sundays remind us to slow down and be thankful — not just for the quiet moments, but for the strength that carried us through the week.

To every first responder, spouse, and family member who stands behind the uniform — may today bring you peace, rest, and the gentle reminder that you are never alone.

We see you. We pray for you. And we’re grateful for the hearts that serve. 💛

📣 Saturday Shenanigans 🚑🔥🚓

For some of us, Saturday means kicking back.
For others, it means kicking into high gear.
Whether you’re on shift or off duty, we hope you find a minute to laugh, breathe, and maybe even nap (just not on the rig 😴).

We’ve got your six — even on Saturdays. 💛

It’s Phone-a-Friend Friday! 📞💚

Wellness isn’t just what we eat or how we move — it’s about connection.

Reach out to that person who always makes you laugh, or the one you’ve been “meaning to call.” You never know — they might need that call just as much as you do. 💕

Because balance starts with caring — for ourselves and for each other.

💙 Thankful Thursday: The Family Behind the Uniform 💙

Every hero who answers the call has a quiet hero waiting at home.
The ones who hold it all together through long shifts, missed dinners, sleepless nights, and the stories that are too heavy to share.

They keep the lights on, the faith strong, and the love steady.
They are the reason we can keep showing up — day after day, call after call.

Today, we give thanks for the families behind the uniform — the heartbeat of every responder. 💛

🛡️ We Got Your Six Wednesday

In this line of work, we don’t always have time to say how much it matters — but having each other’s back is everything.

Whether it’s checking on your partner after a rough call, reminding a coworker they’re not alone, or reaching out for yourself — that’s what “We Got Your Six” really means.

No one should carry the weight alone. We’re a family — on the scene, off the clock, and through every high and low.

💬 If you need to talk, lean on your peers.
📞 If you see someone struggling, reach out.
🚑 And remember: First Response Peer Support Network is here — because we’ve all been there.
