3 DAY EXPERIENTIAL WELLNESS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS™

We are excited to partner with Shannon Polito of Help For The Headset July 13th - 15th for an immersive wellness retreat for First Responders.
Please email Shannon at helpfortheheadset@gmail.com with questions!
Course Overview:
This immersive three-day experience is designed specifically for first responders seeking sustainable ways to understand stress and restore balance so they can create and experience resilience both professionally and personally.
Day One: Foundation & Education
Participants receive evidence-informed education on cumulative stress, nervous system responses, anxiety, and the unique demands of emergency services and communications work, with practical tools that support personal well-being and responsible peer support integration.
Days Two & Three: Experiential Restoration
Guided experiential learning includes art therapy, movement, equine-assisted experiences, K9-supported interactions, grounding practices, sound bath, earthing/nature engagement, and a reiki/meditation session. These experiences use a combination of techniques designed to reduce stress, release held tension, improve emotional regulation, and support clarity, focus, and a greater sense of calm.
Especially valuable for peer support team members who can take this information, shared language, and lived experience back to their teams and agency.
