We have created a site for responders run exclusively by responders... It is a place with great fellowship on the good days and solid and confidential support when the "bad call" happens. As a Chaplain of over 25 years we wanted a place that responders could come and receive the support for traumatic events with trained CISM responders and more.
Please join our site and invite your friends, too

I started as a Fire Chaplain in Romeoville, Il about 25 years ago!
Great to have you here!

I see your name more and more on EMS stuff that I get. Hope things in Naperville are good. If I'm out that way I'll stop in and say hi.
