Training Programs by Jada

Jada trains groups in emotional wellness, leadership, and resiliency.

 

She is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with special training in pediatric death and PTSD and a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor. She served as the clinical director of program development for Illinois Fire Fighter Peer Support (ILFFPS). In addition, she was a clinical consultant for Operation Shattered Stars (OSS). The Illinois Fire Service recognized Jada as a subject-matter expert and invited her to serve on their advisory committee to develop a behavioral health/emotional wellness curriculum for firefighters throughout Illinois. Jada developed training geared toward the specific needs of various groups, including firefighters, law enforcement, retirees, police leaders, cancer patients, those who have PTSD, and many others. These pieces of training spread awareness and strengthen emotional wellness and resiliency for first responders. She was recently invited to be the keynote speaker at The National Fire Academy.
