Community Education for Fire Fighters & First Responders

This webinar tells the story of how Fire Family Peer Support (FFPS) was created to rebuild the sense of family within the fire service and provide meaningful support to firefighter families. It traces the journey from a Chaplain’s early efforts to support families, through the realization that a non‑religious, peer‑driven model was needed, to the formation of a volunteer‑led program. Through personal stories, lived experiences, and a vision for restoring connection, the presentation highlights why FFPS exists, how it fills critical gaps in support, and how it aims to revive the fire family bond through peer relationships, shared understanding, and community‑building events. Ultimately, it invites firefighter families and leadership to join a movement that ensures no one walks this journey alone, and offers valuable tools for attendees to bring back to their own peer support teams and fire houses.
