July 10 – August 26, 2023

First responders and their families need support and advocates in local communities, and this course is designed to guide clergy as they learn how to provide this encouragement. 

First responders have long felt that showing emotion would lead to a perception of weakness. But the situations first responders witness while on or off duty do affect these men and women and their families. Many first responders and front-line workers are dealing with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.  

Join Harriet in conversation about how clergy can support and advocate for these vital workers and their families.  

Learners will need to obtain this book: 

Mental Health Mayday: A Firefighter’s Survival Guide from Recruit through Retirement by Gregg Bagdade

A workbook written by Harriet, “Caring with Compassion: First Responders and Their Families,” will be used throughout the course and web links and links to videos will be provided. 

This course is eligible for 1.0 CEU.
