June’s Zoom Training will feature Dr. Medina Baumgart, who will speak about the nervous system and how it impacts communication, connection, and overall well-being in our relationships. This conversation will help spouses better understand and depersonalize some of what first responders may carry home after work, while also increasing awareness of our own nervous systems and emotional health.

Dr. Baumgart is a licensed psychologist in California and a board-certified specialist in Police and Public Safety Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). She serves as an embedded psychologist within a law enforcement agency and is married to a retired law enforcement officer. She is also the author of Surviving Retirement and created a self-paced, on-demand retirement course designed specifically for first responder families.

We will continue the conversation and connection through in-person follow-up gatherings throughout the month.

This conversation is designed specifically for the female spouses and significant others of first responders, whether you are brand new to Revitalizing Guardians or have joined us for previous Zoom or in person gatherings. All are welcome!

Female Spouses/significant others sign up on the Revital app

Join us for a free, fun-filled evening of water slides, lazy rivers, and connection with fellow first responder families. This outing is all about unplugging, laughing, and making memories together as we dive into the summer season—because time with your people matters just as much as the work you do.

We have rented out the entire facility for our private event so there will only be first responder families present. Whether you want to swim or just hangout, everyone is welcome as we can have up to 350 guests and we want to pack the place out. Feel free to bring your dinner as well or the snack bar will be open for food. We are hoping to also have the snow cone station paid for by a sponsor.

We know May can feel a little chaotic with end-of-school activities and busy schedules, so we’re keeping things simple this month. We’re bringing everyone together in one central location for a fun in-person gathering where we’ll dive into exploring our personality types.

It will be a relaxed and engaging night to connect, learn more about ourselves, and better understand how we show up in the world and how this affects our relationships as well.

This is such a fun and beneficial activity with a larger group so we’re combining both the South and Central groups for this topic on personalities. We’ll be meeting at Adams County Fire Station 11 so we have plenty of space. We will provide some snacks for the evening as well.

There will not be a zoom training this month so we HIGHLY recommend making time to gather for this evening. We look forward to some amazing conversations.
