Who should attend? First Responders who have experienced a critical incident and that are still experiencing some type of daily impairment or lesser quality of life related to the traumatic exposure they experienced. The incident could have been recent or more distant, but if some level of diminished functioning still exists in your daily/home/family life, this seminar can be of great benefit to you (and your family).
