Empowerment to Connect: Resilience Training
Join our free resilience training events to prioritize your well-being. Register at www.sesvaevents.com and mark your calendars for upcoming sessions in Mudgee, Tweed, Sutherland Shire, and Tamworth.

Please spread the word among your fellow first responders and community members as our resilience training is for ALL First Responders & Community Members.

Our training events are completely free - with morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea provided.

We are looking for individuals within your units to carry on the legacy of the First Responders Resilience Program (FRRP). 

The ideal person is a gregarious individual who will be able to deliver and share the course within the units. We are approaching the conclusion of the external resource delivery phase of the program, and we are diligently working to sustain the program's continuity and encourage our fellow volunteers to join us in this next phase. 

We are running a train the trainer weekend mid May at our training facility located at Rockdale and would like to extend this invitation to those interested in joining our team as a Facilitator of the program. 

This is a great opportunity for interested volunteers to come along, find out more about the program and our future plans and also engage & network with other like-minded people from a variety of emergency service organisations.

If you are interested in being involved, please contact Gary Emmerton at gary@ordinarycourage.com.au to find out more information about this opportunity.
