EMS week is a perfect time to recognize those working behind the scenes to take care of the people who take care of everyone else. 💙🚑

Yuma’s own Paramedic, Jolissa Asmus, is helping lead that mission coordinating the Northeast Colorado Regional Peer Support Team through the Northeast Colorado Regional Emergency Medical and Trauma Advisory Council, NE Colorado RETAC.

This growing program is focused on supporting EMS, fire, law enforcement, dispatch, and other frontline responders across northeast Colorado.

We are proud to see local leadership making a regional impact. 👏

🚑❤️ We were so grateful to attend this incredible training opportunity this week! We had an amazing time learning alongside partners from across Yuma County and the region. We came home rejuvenated, empowered, and better equipped with new knowledge and tools to better care for one another — the people who take care of the people. All badges. All scrubs. 💙🩺

Showing up stronger for our communities—together. 🚑🔥

Huge thank you to the NE Colorado RETAC for making this possible! 🙌✨

Today was the final day of the 40-Hour Peer Support Academy in Sterling—and every participant completed their certification.

More importantly, today we officially launched the Northeast Colorado Regional Peer Support Team.

This wasn’t just a class. It was a commitment.

Over the past week, responders and frontline professionals from across rural northeastern Colorado came together to build something our region has needed for a long time: a culturally competent, evidence-based peer support network designed specifically for all badges, uniforms, and scrubs.

This team understands that first responders are different—not in weakness, but in exposure, physiology, culture, and how stress and trauma accumulate over time. The work ahead is about prevention, early connection, and credible peer-led support, especially in communities where local resources may be limited or nonexistent.

We are deeply grateful to Karen and Joanne from First Responder Trauma Services for sharing their experience, insight, and evidence-based approach. Their guidance helped shape not just a course, but a stronger, more resilient region—and their work sets a standard that should be replicated far beyond Colorado.

Watching this group finish strong—ready to serve their peers and their communities—has been deeply meaningful and incredibly hopeful.

This is how we take care of our people.
This is how we build regional capacity where it matters most.
And this is only the beginning.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and committed to being there for others.
