On Sunday April 13, 2025 we hosted our inaugural Wellness Day at Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company.  The day started with breakfast followed by a showing of PTSD911. Following the movie, the group participated in pet therapy courtesy of PAWS, Inc. (Puppies are Worth Saving). Next, the clinical staff from The Irons Foundation discussed and conducted an exercise on EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). There was also a demonstration on vibroacoustic therapy. 

​

Following lunch, our keynote speaker Vance Row (a former police officer of 20 years) discussed his own personal mental health journey. Vance openly talked about his poor coping techniques to include alcohol. Vance went on to discuss how he found comfort in yoga. Vance is now a certified yoga instructor and the owner of Yoga Rescue. Vance lead the group in a beginner level yoga session.
