LIFELINES: Pre-Crisis Support for First Responders

The LIFELINES Program fills a critical gap in First Responder support by establishing a proactive, pre-crisis support group within your organization.

Most First Responder training focuses on caring for others. LIFELINES focuses on caring for each other—fostering everyday support, long before a crisis strikes.

Professional Investment, Real Results

LIFELINES offers:

• 10 hours of live, expert facilitation
• A safe, supportive group setting
• Flexible formats (2 five-hour sessions or 5 two-hour sessions)
• A certificate of participation for professional portfolios
• Continuing education credits, where applicable
• A digital copy of the book: Sounding the Drum: Community Building in the Digital Age
• Leadership development focused on building and sustaining a culture of everyday support—a true community
• Consensus and critical thinking tools for collaboration, problem-solving, and decision-making
