Dr. Donnie’s 4-hour workshop focuses on you as a whole person!  If you’re in public safety and want to improve your family relationships and physical and mental health while having greater success at work and home, then this workshop is for you.  We explore the proactive behavioral health, wellness, and relationship qualities that make for successful and resilient firefighters, public safety and staff at work and home.  You will learn from evidence-based research the greater you care for yourself, the happier and more effective you will be at serving your community and caring for your family.  The workshop includes many interactive activities, discussions, and a workbook.  You will build a plan to align your daily behaviors with your priorities in life.

POST-WORKSHOP LIFELONG LEARNING: 

Balance Boost Mobile App is a department-wide proactive behavioral health resource for firefighters, public safety, staff, and their families.  Dr. Donnie designed the educational and training materials incorporating the Learn, Practice, and Lead (L-P-L) model for lifelong learning.  Each week, app users (spouses/partners welcome) will receive a weekly Balance Boost to Learn, put knowledge into Practice, and Lead others by talking about their experiences at the kitchen table at the firehouse and home.
