As all of you know, there are issues that we have and deal with as Fire & Rescue personnel that the general public doesn't deal with.  Civilians just don't understand the pressures and demands that we go through on a daily basis on or off duty. 

So, the idea is that we can meet together, as firefighters and have a counselor with us to keep us focused on reaching out to each other and help each other cope with the problems that seem so prevalent in public safety. There are a lot of the guys having problems and many others are ready to reach out. We know that many of the guys aren't quite ready yet, but this is a great opportunity to begin this kind of group in a safe environment. 

So, There will be a Firefighter peer support group meeting Monday, September 12th at 17:00 at the Union Hall.

Mary Baca will be there and we will continue to have professional help throughout. We would like to see this grow and become a valuable resource for us.
