As many of you know, I’ve been involved in Wellness training for first responders for the past year. It’s a great course, and I heartily endorse it.

But up until this moment, you had to work for one of the selected departments that we were servicing under a grant.

No longer.

If you are a professional employee of a Public Safety (Law Enforcement) Agency in California, there are a limited number of seats available for free training. Yes, free. This training is worth everything if you’re under stress. It is perfect for your cousin, husband, wife, kid, parent or good friend who works for a law enforcement agency in California. (But not federal employees due to grant restrictions.)

To make sure I don’t hose up the details, the press release is below. Just read through it and forward it on to people who fit that description in California. We do training nationwide, but this grant is specifically for California agencies.

Here’s the press release:
