Join us for a collaborative conversation between Murphy Hanley, Polk County Fire Rescue Chaplain, Jon Hall, President of Local 3531 Polk County Professional Fire Fighters, and Hannah Elmore, IAFF Center of Excellence Clinical Outreach Coordinator, exploring the role of chaplaincy in the fire service. As first responders face stress and emotional challenges in the line of duty, chaplains serve as a critical support system—providing emotional and spiritual supportive care. This session will delve into how fire service chaplains contribute to the well-being of fire fighters and their families, promote resilience within departments, and foster a culture of care and connection. Attendees will hear real-world insights from an experienced chaplain and fire service leader and discover how chaplaincy can be integrated as a trusted and effective resource in any fire department.
