“I went to the class to gain information and tools on how to recognize trauma and deal with trauma for my partners, my wife and myself. My wife is a dispatcher and has had many critical incidents ranging from an officer’s death on her radio to family members passing. I have served in the army with a combat tour and have been in law enforcement for over six years with trauma ranging from losing my brothers in combat to family members passing. I walked away from the course realizing the trauma from my past had affected me more than I had thought, but the key word is “had.” I learned from the course how to heal and get past my trauma. The major part was simply admitting it. In closing I want to thank you again for the help I didn’t know I needed. I know what I learned will help me in my career, help me serve the community better, help me be a better partner to my co-workers and most importantly be a better husband to my wife. I hope this course reaches more people in the future especially people like me that think they are not affected by trauma. Again, thank you.”

“I registered for the REBOOT First Responders course through FrontLine First with an open-mind, understanding it was not going to be a typical law-enforcement driven tactical course. I approached the course as more of a self-reflection of my life experiences on and off the job that have impacted how I not only view life, but how I strive to live life. It was refreshing to be able to just exhale all the emotional trauma I had suppressed inside myself, and be able to know that I was not alone in how I dealt with and/or felt  about critical incidents I directly experienced in my career. The coordinators facilitated the course in a way that made me feel comfortable in sharing my personal views and taught the curriculum that was simple and easy to follow.”

“I realize now that my anger and impatience had returned and I was taking it out on my family. Thanks to this Reboot for First Responders course and FrontLine First I have learned how to better handle myself and am working through the trauma I have experienced in a healthier way. Even my family has noticed the change in me.”

” I recently attended the two-day training “Reboot for First Responders” by Frontline First.  As a trauma therapist specializing in treating first responders, I found it extremely informative, professionally presented and engaging.  I strongly recommend this training and this organization to all first responders, their departments and command staff. The presenters/trainers were excellent at creating a community with all of us, sharing themselves and their own lessons learned as active/previous first responders.  I highly recommend this training.”
