This month was focused on the important leadership training and development. Both Officers, Firefighters, and Chaplains were provided training to help in the areas of their personal and professional growth. C2 was also involved throughout the State Fair as a ministering presence to our First responders and the State Fair staff. It was a great month of future investment. We have also partnered with “Hook-A-Hero” to ensure our Heroes are cared for both physically and mentally.

From APRIL 1-30, the continual “ministry of Presence” of C2 was expressed in:

• 23 Sites visit (HCSO, PCFR, HCPS-HQ, FBI-Tampa, State Fair)
• 19 Events (Trainings, BIONIC events, Ceremonies, Funerals, Ministry events)
• 19 mentorship/Life Coaching sessions

Total Impacts: 32 sites, 21 Events, 28 M/LC sessions

Final paperwork has been submitted by Lee West to ensure C2 will be a registered area for future counselors completing time toward licensing.

• There were 67 hours of direct counseling.
• 22 hours of certification through the Gottman Institute- Marriage and Family
• 3 hours CVI training part 2
• Two networking meeting with Hook a Hero to establish partnership with First Responders.

CH 101 had 2 complete classes and CH 201 had 1 complete. We are developing the CH 501 mentorship block to begin videoing in May. We are presently working to bring on an additional C2 chaplain.

Closing Thought: 

Thanks to all our sponsors and donors for the opportunity to pour time and resources into the lives of our First responders and their families. Without you, we cannot do it!
