BUILT FOR THOSE WHO RUN TOWARD CHAOS  

Before the Call™ is a seven-module resiliency program for fire, EMS, police, and dispatch. It covers what the job does to your body, your mind, and your family over a career, and gives you practical tools to handle it before the hard calls stack up. It's taught by a working firefighter and paramedic who is also a licensed counselor.

CURRICULUM MODULES

BODY AND MIND

Modules 1 and 2: Your Body's Alarm System and Two Types of Demands. What the job does to your nervous system, and how the big calls differ from the cumulative stress buildup over a career.

Optional Add-On: Spiritual Battles of the First Responder. A faith-based session on calling, meaning, and moral injury, taught by an ordained pastor. Available on request.

IDENTITY AND HELP

Modules 3 and 4: More Than the Badge and Asking Isn't Weakness. Who you are outside the uniform, and how to get help without fear for your career.

HOME, GROWTH, AND YOUR PLAN

Modules 5 to 7: The Home Front, After the Burn, and Your Own Playbook. Bringing it home differently, posttraumatic growth, and writing your own resiliency plan.
