Resilience is productive behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be developed. By expanding our individual range of resilience, we are more prepared to embrace life’s challenges, recover from setbacks and grow during periods of adversity and struggle. Joe will share First H.E.L.P.’s RANGE of Resilience, a simple research-based set of five resilience skills. Each skill has a variety of practices that can be used to broaden personal resilience to prepare us for a setback as well as real-time practices that can be used during a critical incident to quickly recover and stay on task. RANGE is for everyone. The five skills fit well into an existing resilience training program or it can be used as a platform to start deliberate resilience training in your agency. Both First Responders and their families can apply the First H.E.L.P.’s RANGE of Resilience in a way that fits their needs. Get ready to expand your RANGE of Resilience!
