📣 📣 CALLING ALL FIRST RESPONDERS 📣 📣

Australia’s First Responder community is about to experience a program that has changed lives and cultures across the United States.

The Boulder Crest Foundation, global leaders in Post Traumatic Growth (PTG), are bringing Struggle Well to Australia for the very first time.

This flagship event will be delivered by Josh Goldberg, CEO of the Boulder Crest Foundation and co-author of the book "Struggle Well: Thriving in the Aftermath of Trauma."

Struggle Well has already been embraced by thousands of First Responders, Military personnel and Veterans across the United States with results including:

► 60% growth in connection and trust among peers.
► A measurable culture shift in major police and First Responder agencies.
► Enduring increases in hope, optimism and resilience.

Now, Australia has the opportunity to lead the way in proactive, evidence based support for those who serve.

Free one day events are planned in Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Sydney this October. We will be attending the Brisbane event and hope to see you there 🤙
