Special June School 2017 Class – It’s All About the Brain Register online – new directions listed below It’s All About the Brain: Gain Resiliency as a Fire Fighter presented by Dr. Robin Grant-Hall. A licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in PTS treatment for first responders. June 8th at the CT Fire Academy from 9am to 12pm. Course Fee: $20.00 First responders have to soak in highly stressful experiences sometimes on a daily basis. Your brain usually processes these experiences in a highly effective manner which is why you have chosen this career and are good at what you do. However, what we now know is that Cumulative Stress Overload of the everyday calls and then, the few that you always remember, creates physical changes in the brain. This presentation will explain how cumulative stress impacts the brain, emotional, mental, and physical effects of this process, and the long term potential negative impact. Post-traumatic stress (PTS) will be explained from the brain perspective. A short term, focused, goal directed trauma treatment, which is a great fit for first responders will be explained. The information shared in this presentation should be known by all first responders and especially those in supervisory capacities.

CFA 2017 Seminar Series May 20, 2017 Extreme Leadership am session # 17344 Dealing with Negativity pm session # 17346 Extreme Leadership: During this program we start with learning about your own strengths and weaknesses. We also learn about what really scares you. Leadership starts from within. By doing so we will show you how to become a better leader in life and in the fire service. This program covers all three phases of great leadership. 1. Intellectual Intelligence, 2. Emotional Intelligence and 3. Personality Based Human Dynamics. Most leadership programs tell you how to be a better leader with one phase but we show the attendee how to be a better leader with all three. You will learn the 4 different personalities in the firehouse. Dealing with Negativity: We will teach you how to read, map and identify the four different personalities in your organization. Learn what makes them engage, be motivated or tick. Have you ever asked yourself

“What the hell was that guy thinking?” If you have, do you really know who you’re leading? Learn how to provide behavioral modification for leading, coaching and even during disciplinary actions. http://www.ct.gov/cfpc/cwp/view.asp?Q=591944&A=833 ----------- 4.
