IAFF Peer Support Training
The Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin Charitable Foundation is proud to host IAFF Peer Support Training in Oshkosh on March 3rd and 4th, 2025.
The IAFF Resiliency Training is also available as a two-day fully online training experience, broken into four to five training hours each day.
Led by three IAFF master resiliency instructors, the class is designed for 25 participants. Through a combination of self-assessment, traditional instruction, video, group discussion and skills practice, participants will gain an essential foundation for personal resiliency on and off the job.
The IAFF Virtual Resiliency Training is hosted through Zoom and is designed to be a highly interactive training experience without leaving your home. Students will participate verbally through their webcam, using their chat box and by responding to polls.
CURRICULUM
The curriculum for the IAFF Virtual Resiliency Training is identical to the in-person training and includes two components: pre-course content and virtual classroom content. Pre-course content includes an individual resiliency assessment completed online during registration, followed by a one-hour video series on organizational resiliency. Virtual classroom content will focus on six key concepts to gain resiliency-building skills that can be applied both on and off the job. Each individual student will be mailed a hardcopy student manual and materials prior to the class.
The IAFF Resiliency Training will teach you to:
- Assess your current level of individual resiliency
- Respond to stressful situations with positive, flexible thinking
- Increase your positive social interaction on and off shift
- Experience more positive emotions during your day
- Manage stress through tactical breathing, meditation and mindfulness
- Challenge personal and occupational barriers to good nutrition and exercise
- Build meaning and purpose in your daily life through spirituality
PREREQUISITES
Participants are required to complete an individual resiliency assessment through the registration process online, which consists of the two assessment questionnaires listed below. Assessment results are explored in the classroom training:
- The Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS)
- The Connor Davidson Resiliency Scale (CD-RISC)
Participants are asked to watch a one-hour video series, which provides an overview of classroom training and an introduction to the concept of organizational resiliency.
Lunch will be provided each day. Please let us know if there are any dietary restrictions.
