The Life Challenge Program was founded by Shawna Legarza and is supported through the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.. www.wffoundation.org

The life challenges program is a reflective and peer support based program that helps to set a vision for firefighters and families to better understand the emotions faced by the survivors

“This program is dedicated to those who are the survivors of a loved one or co-worker who has committed suicide”, said Shawna Legarza

The program offers reference materials and additional information to provide guidance and support.

The intent for this program is to provide information through seminars, helpful links, professional readings and personal reflections so individuals can learn to effectively manage their mental and emotional state of mind during times of coping with such great loss.

Through these practices, individuals will achieve an end state with strategies to create and maintain a higher quality of life both personally and professionally.

The Life Challenge Program will focus on the following:
