First Responder Coaching

Anonymous, Firefighter

"[It] was a pleasure speaking with [my coach]. She helped guide my thoughts and come up with a game plan on progress in certain areas of my life."

Katie, LEO Spouse

“Being a LEO family is not for the faint of heart. It takes a village to make a family run and an even bigger one to make a LEO family run. Having any kind of additional help for you and your first responder family is a blessing. FRC helps you navigate the unique waters with insight. Working with FRC has been one of the best decisions I’ve made."

Jillian, former first responder spouse

“When I learned about coaching I knew it could help me and I knew I needed to do it for me. Something I wasn’t making a priority was myself at the time. My fear, anxiety, sleepless nights, and depression were setting in hard and it was hard for me to see a light at the end of the tunnel. My sessions with FRC were life changing. I knew I wasn’t alone in what we were going through.”

Captain, Fire & EMS

“Throughout history, getting emergency responders to open-up and discuss issues has always been a challenge. Knowing you have someone you can talk with that has similar experiences is extremely beneficial.

We are just about a year into working with FRC. Jennifer and her team provide phenomenal services that have gone above and beyond our expectations.

First Responder Coaching has been a huge success in our department. In the beginning, it was difficult to get firefighters to open-up. However, the more department leaders discussed FRC, the more they were willing to reach out for coaching. Letting them know the communication was between them and their coach was extremely beneficial.

We continue to actively work together in finding the best methods and means to shift our members’ mindsets. In doing so, we have collaborated to provide necessary support capable of improving our members overall health and wellbeing.

I recommend to any Chief (Police or Fire) to consider the mental health and well-being of your responders.”
