Join us for a powerful conversation with Retired Fire Chief Patrick J. Kenny, author of “Taking the Cape Off: How to Lead Through Mental Illness, Unimaginable Grief, and Loss.” We peel back the layers of leadership in emergency services and what it truly means to lead with strength and vulnerability.

Chief Kenny shares his personal story, the impactful journey of his son Sean, and how loss reshaped his understanding of resilience and responsibility. We'll dismantle harmful myths about mental health and suicide that can hinder us as first responders and explore the stigma that often silences those in need.

Discover why effective communication is a game-changer in navigating personal and professional challenges, and whether current training adequately prepares firefighters to tackle mental health issues.

Get ready to learn, reflect, and equip yourself with the tools to foster a culture of compassion and strength in your firehouse and beyond. Tune in for this eye-opening discussion that promises to inspire your journey in leadership and mental health advocacy.

🥊 Incredible opportunity! One lucky winner will walk away with a **FREE FightCamp package** valued at $799! This package includes everything from a free-standing boxing bag to a heart rate monitor—perfect for leveling up your training. **Don’t miss your chance to win!**
