This three-hour training module is taught by author, speaker, and former Marine, Silouan Green. He has worked with first responders for over fifteen years on issues of resiliency, peer support, suicide prevention and mental fitness. A survivor of a tragic jet crash as a US Marine and someone who overcame severe PTSD, he understands personally what it takes to overcome the trials and traumas of life. He is committed to helping all our heroes “come home”. From volunteers to large departments, rural to urban agencies, Silouan has worked across the spectrum of firefighter experiences.

Our firefighters face a host of pressures that cumulatively and acutely can lead to PTSD. Leadership and fellow firefighters can make a difference if they are trained and equipped with the right tools. This training will increase the understanding of PTSD and resiliency of those who serve, and better equip them to train and respond to their fellow firefighters and EMS personnel. A resilient, pro-active department focuses on mental fitness increases performance, morale, retention, and recruitment.
