CAL FIRE and Riverside County Set To Fight Mental and Physical Stressors
Partners with O2X Human Performance for 4-day workshop to optimize health and wellness
Riverside County, CA – From Apr 18th – Apr 21st, the CAL FIRE and Hemet City Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team will participate in a four-day training evolution sponsored by the First Responder Center for Excellence to address mental and physical health, wellness, and resilience.
The workshop will be run by O2X Human Performance, a training and education company founded by former Navy SEALs. As tactical athletes, first responders risk their lives daily to keep their communities safe. They endure physical and, more importantly, mental stress throughout their careers. As a result, it’s become critical that they train their bodies properly to stay healthy, but also maintain their mental health.
Beginning Monday, April 18th, both Fire and EMS personnel take the first step in this program with a focus on their overall health and wellness based on a prepared curriculum provided by O2X certified professionals across a variety of fields germane to promoting physical and mental agility and longevity.
During the sessions, participants will learn about nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress management, and resilience. The O2X team consists of hundreds of specialists, including U.S. Special Operations veterans, strength and conditioning coaches, mental performance experts, PhDs in nutrition and psychology, as well as sleep scientists – all dedicated to helping first responders elevate their human performance.
“Physical and mental health go hand-in-hand and is a key to a firefighters’ success on the job and in life itself,” said Riverside County Fire Chief and CAL FIRE Riverside Unit Chief, Bill Weiser.
O2X Human Performance has successfully trained thousands of first responders and collaborated with hundreds of public safety agencies nationwide to provide state-of-the-art training and education aimed specifically at helping first responders finish their careers as strong as they started.
“We’re excited to continue our program with Hemet City and CAL FIRE,” said Paul McCullough, Co-founder at O2X Human Performance. “This four-day workshop will act as a foundation for these firefighters to keep their physical health and mental wellness a part of their daily lives, in order to stay prepared for the demands of the job.”
The workshops will be held from 8am to 4pm at the Ben Clark Fire Training Facility Auditorium 16902 Bundy Avenue, Riverside, CA 92518.
