Responder Wellness Event

This monthly event is for first responders, first receivers, responder support staff, and family members of responders; open to on- and off-duty responders as well as all retirees. For February, we will be building awareness of all the programs and resources available to responders and their families regarding free mental health classes, trainings, and online support.

Andy DiPalma (Bridge Counseling Associates First Responder Liason) and Tiffany Oba (Vegas Strong Resiliency Center Responder Wellness Coordinator) will host the event. Also in attendance will be Tennille Pereira (Vegas Strong Resiliency Center Director) and John Potter (Clark County Fire Department EAP Specialist).
