To Our Members and Our Families: Marriage isn’t easy. Throw in the complications of the fire life and sometimes it can seem impossible. It is no surprise that firefighters have a higher than average divorce rate. Multiple days away from home, stressful calls, sleepless nights, interrupted communication, managing issues at home while spouses are away the list could go on. A functioning, long-term marriage in the fire service is uncommon, but not impossible. To have and ma...intain a good marriage takes work. This seminar will discuss the issues related to a fire service life that can pull a relationship apart. It will also give couples tools to help navigate difficult situations. The Fire Marriages Seminar will be held on November 12th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. The panel will consist of current and retired fire personnel, peer support team members and UFLAC Behavioral Health professionals Dr. Steve Froehlich, Vera Rodriguez, Nancy Mraz and Dr. Sami Tamburro. WEBINAR DETAILS: DATE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2020 TIME: 7:00 PM 8:30 PM Please follow the link to sign up. https://register.gotowebinar.com/regist/1581017867038660107
