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

“The life challenge program is a reflective and support based program which will help set a vision for firefighters and families to better understand the emotions faced during the challenges in life.
This program is dedicated to those who are the survivors.”

The Program will offer reference materials to provide guidance and support to those suffering the loss of a
loved one. This program may also be used to educate professional firefighters in methods for better
managing the stresses and pressures inherent in this high-risk field. 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 stress and change. 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:

• Leadership and Self– Six Core Strategies for taking care of yourself while maintaining peak performance. Dr. Larry Iverson.
  
  
• Dealing with transformation and organizational change in your personal and professional life. Dr. Anne Kellogg.
