Mindset Reps is launching an in-person support group for first responders focused on stress management and substance use. The group, supported by REVITAL, will meet  weekly on Thursdays from 10:40 AM–12:15 PM at Fort Collins CrossFit starting October 2nd. Participants will engage in peer support, functional fitness-based workouts, and mindfulness practices to address substance use and other unhealthy behaviors. These are scaled to meet people where they're at and can be adapted for any injury, limitation or ability level.

The program aims to reduce stigma, build connection, and offer a more holistic and alternative option to traditional recovery groups, which many first responders may feel uncomfortable attending. A $70 materials fee covers a workbook, habit-building day planner, and other essentials; the rest is funded by REVITAL.

To complete initial enrollment in the group please go to this link https://pci.jotform.com/form/250594154070049 then sign up for the weekly sessions you will be able to attend on the REVITAL app.

‘Tis the season to share the excitement of flannel and our favorite things. Ladies, come dressed in your best festive flannel, enjoy a coffee/drink on us, connect with other responder spouses and let’s exchange a few of our favorite things. How it works:

• Think of something you love that is $8 or less. Be creative but some examples are: your favorite lip gloss or skin care, kitchen utensil, book or journal, candle, lotion, pens, snack or drink.

• Purchase 5 of those items (so all 5 items are the same)

• Bring all 5 items to the party in one bag (unwrapped)

• At the party you’ll have the chance to share your favorite item and then draw names for 5 people who will go home with that item.

• Everyone brings 5 favorite things and walks away with 5 favorites from friends!

This will be hosted by Toni and Kym and open to all first responder wives/significant others even if you haven’t attended previous meetings. We would love for anyone to join!
