This weekend, National Fallen Firefighters Foundation @NFFF_News  (NFFF) advocates are in St. Petersburg, Florida, participating in a Train-the-Trainer program for Stress First Aid (SFA), a key initiative of the First Responder Center for Excellence (FRCE). The two-day training, held in conjunction with the Fire Department Safety Officers Association @FDSOApubs (FDSOA) Conference, equips these dedicated individuals with tools to help first responders recognize and manage stress, fostering mental well-being and resilience in the fire service. 

“The NFFF advocates are among the most dedicated individuals in the fire service and are uniquely positioned to deliver this vital program,” said Chief Frank Leeb, Managing Director of FRCE. 

Stress First Aid (SFA) provides first responders with practical strategies to support themselves and their peers, and it’s now available online at no cost! To access the training or request an in-person session, visit the First Responder Center for Excellence website:
