Empowering 9-1-1 professionals to achieve resilience driven excellence in life and peak performance at work. We accomplish this mission through delivery of science-based training and customized consulting services to the 9-1-1 industry. To highly value someone or something means we devote our best for their best. That which we highly value are our VALUES. Here's our 911TI List: We share great respect and gratitude for EACH OTHER at the 911 Training Institute--and that inspires our best work. Each of our administrative team members and instructors are united by our passion for giving our very best to support the greater 9-1-1 Family. We recognize EVERY 9-1-1 PROFESSIONAL--frontliners and leaders alike--as people created with great worth, doing extraordinary work that places them at great psychological risk and deserving of extraordinary resources enabling them to meet the demands placed on them. We place the highest value on creating A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT INSPIRES 911Pros to grow; and because of the high psychological intensity of our courses, we are devoted to expertly creating emotionally safe classroom experiences in which courageous 911Pros can choose to relate personally to the class material and to each other. We value the intelligence and UNIQUE LIVED PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of each student in the classroom--from the newest to the most veteran 911Pro. So no one "attends" our courses; each class member participates as a "co-teacher" who can make unique contributions to every discussion borne of their own perspectives, expertise, curiosity, and desire to learn. We value incorporating ADULT-LEARNING ACTIVITIES into our training which invite students to activate critical-thinking skills fostering that dynamic, interactive co-teaching experience that boosts the class experience's value for all involved. And upon all these foundational values, we value EACH DAY OF TRAINING as an opportunity for each student to experience life-changing growth.

Tara Poirier 💪🥳
Congratulations to our October 911der Woman of the Month, Tara Poirier! Tara is an EMS Supervisor at Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Communications Center in California. Tara was nominated by her collogue, Elizabeth Strong. Here’s what Elizabeth had to say: “Tara is dedicated to duty, EMS, her colleagues and constituents. As a Supervisor, she holds patient care, unit safety and coworker morale in the highest regards. She is meticulous with EMD and coaches others to reach their potential as well. Tara created trainings and workshops to help our employees better understand medical triaging and our role in EMS. She instituted required committees and policies to ensure adherence to protocols and improvement to patient care. As a leader, she works alongside her team call taking and working a radio while ensuring all tasks are completed quickly and accurately. She empowers her crew with education and the opportunity to grow while providing useful and honest feedback. She is thoughtful to everyone’s milestones and makes sure everyone is celebrated. On a personal level, she tries to connect with each of her associates whether it is her direct coworkers, vendors, fire department staff or public. She even volunteers her time to represent her fellow Supervisors as their union representative. Her selflessness, servant leadership and strength of character is commendable and is something we can all strive for.” You can find her and the other winners, as well as instructions on how to nominate a woman you admire here: https://lnkd.in/efp243P Thank you to our partner Communication Center Specialists - CCS for supporting this program!

"That backpack analogy illustration that people use all the time, like you're carrying around a load of bricks... what's weird is that I think you become so accustomed, numb, and desensitized to it that you almost don't even realize that you're carrying around a load of bricks. EMDR therapy helped me set the backpack down on the ground to rest." Ryan Dedmon joins host, Conrad Weaver, on this week's episode of The First Responder Wellness Podcast.
