Students in our EPS program showcased their knowledge at the Delaware County Emergency Services Training Center with a morning that featured hands-on demonstrations by students and lifelike scenarios that combined their training in firefighting, law enforcement, and EMS.

This week during Mental Health Awareness Month, we are focusing on small steps that can make a big impact on mental health.

Small actions such as getting enough rest, talking with trusted people, showing kindness, and taking breaks when needed, can make a big difference. Let’s continue supporting one another and creating a community where everyone feels valued and connected.

As Mental Health Acceptance Month comes to a close, remember that caring for mental health is important all year long.

“Delco Together. Every Mind Matters.” — because when we come together, we create a stronger, more supportive community for everyone.
