Learn strategies for navigating the stress and trauma a first responder life brings to your relationship and family.
First Responder families often live in a balancing act between "The Calling" of the job and life in general.
This Balancing Act is not easy and many in your life may not truly understand the trade offs. Traditional marriage communication strategies do not always work.
In this training led by first responder experienced therapist and clinical psychologist, you will learn the best ways to handle this world together.
