2022 FDSOA Health and Safety Conference

Firefighters swear an oath to protect lives and property and to place the value of everyone else’s lives ahead of their own.  Consistently placing themselves last serves to cement a culture feeding exhaustion and burn-out, mental health crises, increased absenteeism and presenteeism and rising rates of validated suicides.  Your mission: Empower personnel on the pillars of 1. Sleep; 2. Nutrition; 3. Mindfulness; and 4. Movement by educating, supporting, and creating accountability and buy-in. Looking from outside, fitness and performance may seem like the keys to organizational success, but wellness and resilience are the true lifesavers.
