1st Responder Conferences is committed to the emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being of the public safety workforce. We work with public safety leaders to make this possible. We recognize that first responders are our greatest asset and we believe it is our responsibility to create a climate that supports health and resiliency.
At our conferences, we are dedicated to promoting awareness surrounding the difficulties of the profession and inspiring conversations that minimize the stigma associated with the layered stressors our first responders experience. We provide education, mental health tools, and resources for agencies, first responders, and their families. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all who dedicate themselves to protecting and serving others.
1st Responder Conferences partners with nonprofit organizations. We work together to make sure all first responders get the resources they need to live a happy and healthy life!

Our Conferences
Our conferences are for all current/retired first responders, police, fire, EMS, military/veterans, corrections, dispatchers, chaplains, spouses, professional staff, clinicians, and all who work in public safety.
1st Responder Conferences present a multi-faceted two-day seminar and networking event for improving first responder mental health and wellness. Through discussions on the current issues consistently faced by first responders, our conferences will provide awareness, resources, and tools to combat post-traumatic stress, depression, suicide, addiction, stress, and overall wellness.
1st Responder Conferences proudly introduces a lineup of nationally recognized speakers. They will address issues that impact the personal and professional lives of all first responders and their families through dynamic and engaging presentations.
Every conference is unique. We continually focus on mental health and wellness but we provide different speakers to ensure you receive the most up-to-date information and knowledge available.
With a progressive and forward message of optimism and sustainability, 1st Responder Conferences’ goal is pushing past traditional silence and bringing wellness to our everyday heroes.
