The First Responder Mental Wellness Summit in Asheville, North Carolina is a national gathering created to bring first responders, healthcare professionals, military personnel, dispatchers, correctional officers, peer supporters, clinicians, leaders, educators, and community partners together for honest conversations about mental wellness, resilience, and healing.
Hosted by The PIERCE Foundation, this two day experience is designed to break away from the traditional conference atmosphere and create an environment where people feel welcomed, understood, and connected from the moment they walk through the door. The summit combines high energy engagement, meaningful education, emotional storytelling, practical wellness tools, and community building into an experience unlike anything else in the first responder world.
Attendees will hear from speakers from across the country covering topics including trauma, burnout, leadership, PTSD, relationships, suicide prevention, peer support, healthy coping, fitness, nutrition, recovery, communication, family support, faith, addiction recovery, therapy resources, and long term resilience.
