Fire Hero Teens, a virtual gathering on Zoom for children, stepchildren, and siblings, of firefighters honored or approved to be honored at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Fire Hero Teens – a bi-monthly virtual sanctuary for adolescents aged 13-17, led by the compassionate expertise of Dr. Angela Moreland. As a seasoned specialist in supporting Fire Hero Families and offering trauma-focused services to teens for over 15 years, Dr. Moreland brings a wealth of experience to guide teens through their healing journey.
What to expect:
- Peer to Peer Support: In Fire Hero Teens, adolescents find solace in connecting with others who share similar experiences. Dr. Moreland facilitates an environment where teens can openly express themselves, fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding.
- Grief Discussions: This virtual support group provides a space for teens to learn about and discuss both common and uncommon grief reactions. Dr. Moreland guides these conversations, helping teens navigate the complexities of their emotions and fostering a supportive atmosphere for mutual understanding.
- Coping Strategies: Weekly, teens engage in discussions on coping mechanisms to navigate the array of feelings and situations that arise in their lives. Dr. Moreland introduces practical tools and strategies to empower teens in facing challenges head-on, fostering resilience and growth.
- Mutual Healing: Fire Hero Teens is not just a group; it's a community where teens support one another through the healing journey. The opportunity to connect with peers who understand provides a powerful source of strength and encouragement.
