Retire Well

First Responders Wellness launched the Retire Well program on June 21, 2022, which was a little short of the first anniversary of my dissertation defense, Over 70 participants signed up for the course, and 50 participants attended a one-day virtual workshop led by peers. The workshop started at 9 am and ended around 4 pm. Steven Odom, PhD, and Tiffany Atalla, LMFT, opened the event. After that, participants viewed a PowerPoint showing my dissertation research results (Syrotiak, 2021) with adjacent breakout rooms to work through eight dimensions of wellness (Swarbrick, 2012). I was told by one of the peers leading the workshop, Tom Crewse, that the workshop went well. My heart goes out to everyone who helped the Retire Well program take off the ground. Julie Cramer, I am especially grateful for your creativity.
