For three days the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Employee Wellness Office team had the privilege of connecting with fellow brothers and sisters during our CISM/Peer Support Training.

Led by our own instructor, Lt. Alex Trinchet, the experience fostered a strong sense of unity through meaningful exercises, valuable insights, and open dialogue. Each moment reinforced our shared commitment to supporting one another and better serving our colleagues. As a powerful reminder echoed throughout the training: it’s not about us—it’s about them.

And it’s a wrap! The two-day Wellness Response Action Plan (WRAP) training reinforced the importance of having a personal action plan to rely on when we need it most. The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Wellness Office team truly enjoyed the camaraderie and shared learning with the colleagues who joined this class. 😊

ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training) is a two-day interactive workshop being hosted this week by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. The program teaches participants how to recognize the signs that someone may be at risk of su***de and how to develop a plan to ensure their immediate safety — a process known as su***de first aid. Personnel from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, both sworn and non-sworn, are taking part in the training. MDFR offers ASIST multiple times each year to ensure continued access to this critical life-saving training. Supported by major studies showing its effectiveness in significantly reducing su***de, the ASIST model equips participants with practical intervention skills while strengthening su***de prevention networks throughout the community.

Two Days of Growth, Strength & Connection ✨

This week, MDFR hosted the Struggle Well 2-day program—an immersive experience focused on resilience, purpose, and turning adversity into strength.
Over the course of the training, our Firefighters and Professional staff members dug deep into:
Understanding stress and trauma
Developing tools to navigate hardship
Creating space to support each other
Reclaiming meaning and purpose—both on and off duty
What made these two days powerful was the honesty, vulnerability, and camaraderie shared in the room.
We showed up not just as first responders, but as human beings—each with a story, a journey, and a reason to keep showing up.
As we continue to serve our community, we remain committed to supporting one another.
MDFR Strong. Struggle Well. Never Alone.
