The How-To Series

If you work as a first responder or in healthcare/deathcare, there are millions of skills that you have learned and practiced. But there is often a giant gap in training about the skills you need to do this work and stay sane.

Each training below is a direct response to themes that we commonly hear. We’ve taken each specific concern and turned it into a webinar, then recorded that for you to access anytime, anywhere. All for the price of one cup of coffee. Hot damn.

We also offer a free training on a How-To topic each month, click here to see what we have scheduled.
