HEALTH & SAFETY
National Suicide Prevention Month September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and one of our team members, Victoria Vega , turned that awareness into action. After listening to a recorded Board of Commissioners meeting, Victoria reached out to First Responder Therapy Dogs and brought the idea to the Health & Safety Committee, which endorsed the program, especially given the groundwork she had already completed. Victoria then coordinated a station-by- station schedule so handler Mike Mora and his therapy dogs, Scout and Piper, could visit every crew. Therapy dog interactions are shown to reduce stress and anxiety, help lower heart rate and perceived workload, and create space for healthy conversations; benefits that are especially meaningful in the fire service. Thank you, Victoria , for the initiative and outstanding coordination!
