Is It Selfish to Waste What God’s Given Me by Not Using the First Responder Training I Have Now?
Are you wondering if your first responder training is going to waste if you're not using it? With the U.S. volunteer fire service staffing under pressure and a decline in volunteer ranks from about 827,000 in 2008 to 635,100 in 2023, the need for skilled responders is more pressing than ever. Moreover, research has shown that skills like CPR/AED performance can decline significantly just four months after training, highlighting the importance of regular refreshers. In this video, we'll explore the personal and societal implications of having first responder training and not using it, and what it means to be a responsible steward of your skills and abilities. Whether you're considering a career in first response or simply want to make a difference in your community, this video is for you. Join the conversation and let's discuss the value of first responder training and how to make the most of it.

What Happens When FAITH Meets Emergency Preparation?
Discover the powerful intersection of faith and emergency preparation in this thought-provoking video. As first responders face elevated mental health and substance-use risks, many are turning to faith as a coping resource, drawing on elements like God's presence, meaning-making, prayer, and community. With Congress introducing proposals like the First Responders Wellness Act and the Answering the Call Act of 2026 to expand support, and initiatives like the 5-year, $3.3 million National Institute of Mental Health grant for resiliency training, the importance of mental health support for responders is clearer than ever. Explore how faith can play a role in being prepared for the worst, and learn about the latest developments in first responder mental health support, including the $1.2 million investment in Canada for emergency-setting mental health and psychosocial supports. Tune in to find out what happens when faith meets emergency preparation.
