After serving 32 and 25years in Law Enforcement respectively, Husband and wife team Jeff & Shawn Thomas decided they weren't done serving. Both first responder wellness advocates, they took their passion and mission to the next level by developing the "1ST Responder Wellness Conferences". A national wellness conference that has been reaching and connecting first responders and their families with the resources they need to lead a healthy life both physically and mentally. Conferences are two days in length and are presented from Alaska to Florida, Boston to Southern California and everywhere in between.

Welcome to 1st Responder Conferences!
1st Responder Conferences is committed to the emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being of the public safety work force and work with leaders in the public safety profession to make this possible. We recognize that first responders are our greatest asset and we feel it is our responsibility to create a climate that supports good health and resiliency.
We are dedicated to promoting awareness at our conferences surrounding the difficulties of the profession and inspiring conversations that minimize the stigma associated with the stresses our first responder’s experience. We provide education, mental health tools and resources for agencies, individuals, and family members. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all who dedicate themselves to protecting and serving others.
1st Responder Conferences partners with Blue H.E.L.P. which is a nonprofit organization. We work together to make sure all first responders get the resources they need to live a happy and healthy life!
About Our Conferences
Our conferences are for all 1st responders, police, fire, EMS, military/veterans, corrections, dispatchers, chaplains, retired 1st responders, spouses, professional staff, clinicians, and all who work in the public safety field.
1st Responder Conferences presents a multi-faceted two-day seminar and networking event for improving the mental health and wellness of our first responders. By discussing the real 21st Century issues that are consistently facing our first responders and their families, our conference will provide awareness, resources and action items to combat PTSD, depression, suicide, addiction, stress, and overall mental health.
1st Responder Conferences proudly introduces a line-up of credible nationally recognized speakers who will address matters that impact the personal and professional lives of all first responders and their family members through dynamic and engaging presentations for the entire first responder community. Every conference is unique! We continually focus on mental health and wellness, but we provide different speakers to ensure you are receiving the most up to date information and knowledge that there is to offer. Our two-day seminars also differ in that your spouses or significant others who support you are invited to come learn with you.
