RESOURCES FOR first responder couples

This video series will provide real examples and practical tools for managing communication in the unique first responder couple’s relationship.

FIRST RESPONDER COUPLE’S QUESTIONNAIRE

The First Responder Couple’s Questionnaire was developed by two first responder spouses who had an interest in providing resources to others first responder couples. As Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors, both Katie Szumigala (Phoenix 26 Consulting LLC) and Stacey Simon (Well Rooted Counseling, LLC) recognized the unique experiences of first responder couples and how the industry lacks in providing support for those at home.

In the process of developing an online video series about communication in first responder couples, they opted to get some data from others to tailor their approach.

Katie and Stacey are not affiliated with any association or department. Data specifics were not reported to any other entity, only the summaries presented in the data analysis report.

Thank you to everyone who completed the questionnaire and provided valuable insight and experiences.
