New scam! Never open any files from people you don’t know. They can contain viruses and keystroke recording software (used to figure out your passwords). Legitimate businesses will never send you unsolicited files over text messages!

First Responders, please consider this opportunity if you’re coping with our everyday challenges. You couldn’t ask for a better place to learn healthy habits, talk to therapists, and acquire some training hours while you’re at it!

Our first retreat of 2026 is rapidly approaching!!!

Every first responder is affected by what we see and do. Unfortunately, we have typically done a terrible job of dealing with it and resources have not been readily available. That is the reason this retreat was developed.

If you are a first responder, or you know a first responder, that may be struggling...we are here to help. We have modified our schedule to offer a condensed weekend retreat, running from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon.

Please visit our website at www.westernkcfr.org to register and learn more. You are not alone in this fight!
