Exclusive Training Opportunity for HEART 9/11 SMART Instructors – November 23
As part of HEART 9/11’s continued commitment to strengthening the resilience and well-being of our first and second responder communities, we are pleased to offer our current SMART instructors an exclusive professional development and certification opportunity.
On November 23, the HEART 9/11 Center for Strength + Resiliency Team will host a specialized 8-hour training designed to expand your knowledge, strengthen your teaching skills, and introduce additional tools to support the responder community.
Following this training, eligible instructors will have the opportunity to pursue an additional trainer certification program with Dr. Jon DePierro, PhD, clinical psychologist, researcher, and professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. DePierro oversees the Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth (CSRPG) and has been an invaluable partner and resource to HEART 9/11 over the years.
This opportunity offers two important benefits:
Expand Your Resiliency Training Skills: Build upon your existing SMART knowledge and incorporate additional science-based resiliency strategies and tools into your work with first and second responders.
Become Certified to Teach an Additional 8-Hour Course: Prepare to expand your role as an instructor by completing specialized training and pursuing certification with Dr. DePierro, qualifying you to deliver an additional resiliency course to first and second responders.
Over the past year, we have seen firsthand the tremendous impact this training can have on the well-being of our responder communities. By investing in our instructors and expanding their knowledge and teaching capabilities, we can reach more individuals and strengthen HEART 9/11's commitment to building resilient communities.
This invitation is exclusively for current HEART 9/11 SMART instructors. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to grow professionally and expand the impact you can make.
PLEASE COMPLETE THE GOOGLE FORM BELOW to let us know if you are interested in participating. Your responses will help us assess interest and coordinate the training.
We look forward to continuing this important work together. Thank you for your dedication to HEART 9/11 and to the first and second responders who depend on these important resources.
