This was such an inspiring presentation! I liked how you broke it down by talking about the first responder groups and the culture of the people in these service positions. I see how important it is to work with their strengths and personality types and how they benefitted from helping the kids they worked with. The pictures you included clearly showed how both the kids and the first responder volunteers were getting so much out of the programs. I wish I was a millionaire that could fund as many of these programs as possible!!! I have a nephew who joined the marines right out of high school and was sent to Afghanistan. He has suffered with ptsd for the past 20+ years. Luckily he at least has a service dog to help him emotionally, but I wish he could find a program like this and would consider attending it. Thank you for all that you and your husband do to help make these programs happen. God Bless.
I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation!
