Current Focus: The LIFELINES™ Program
Lori worked across the non-profit, corporate, and education sectors for several years, and in 2024, a series of events that clarified where her work was most urgently needed led her to turn her attention to first responders in fire, police and ambulance. She created LIFELINES – a groundbreaking initiative supporting mental health and resilience within first responder organizations.
She has been invited to present LIFELINES at key industry events, including:
- NWRETAC Leadership Conference, EMS & Health Care Leaders Program, Colorado
- Quarterly Regional EMS Meeting, Georgia
- Association of Paramedic Chiefs’ Psychological Wellness Symposium, Ontario
- EMS Advisory Board’s Health and Safety Sub-Committee, Connecticut
Lori continues to collaborate with EMS leaders internationally.
