About this event

First Responder Mental Wellness Summit - Asheville NC

16 Fernihurst Dr

Asheville, NC 28801, USA


Couple's Evening Session
$50

This night is about getting better, together.

The reality is, this job doesn’t stay at work. It follows us home. It shows up in our communication, our stress, our patience, and our relationships. And the people beside us feel it, whether we talk about it or not.


This couples experience is designed to give you both real tools to strengthen your relationship and better understand each other.

What you’ll gain:

  • Practical ways to communicate more effectively, especially when things get hard
  • A better understanding of what your responder is carrying and how it shows up at home
  • Tools for partners to support without feeling shut out or overwhelmed
  • Insight into how to reconnect when the job starts creating distance
  • Honest conversations about stress, trauma, and the impact this career has on both of you

You’ll walk away with more than just a good night, you’ll leave with something you can actually use.

And we’ll do it in a way that feels real:

  • Live music from special guest Rob Cole - Finalist The Voice 2025
  • A relaxed, welcoming environment—no pressure, no judgment
  • Time to connect, reflect, and have conversations that matter

This isn’t about fixing everything in one night.
It’s about taking a step forward—together.

⚠️ Important:

  • Each ticket admits two attendees (you + your partner)
  • This is a couples-only event
  • Space is limited and will sell out

If you’ve ever felt the strain of this job at home… this night is for you.

Invest in your relationship. Get your couples ticket.

Full Summit 2 Day 10/29 - 10/30
$50

If you’re going to do this… do it all the way.

The full summit pass gives you access to both days of an experience built to challenge you, support you, and give you tools you can actually use on shift, at home, and everywhere in between.


This isn’t death by PowerPoint. This is real.

What you’ll get:

  • Two full days of powerful speakers with lived experience in emergency services
  • Vetted clinicians who understand our world—not just theory
  • Access to breakout sessions, conversations, and practical takeaways
  • Entry into the Zen Den, where you can experience holistic wellness in a way most responders never have
  • Time to connect with others who get it—no rank, no titles, just people

You’re not going to sit here and be talked at.
You’re going to feel this one.

If you’re serious about taking care of yourself—and the people around you—this is where you start.

⚠️ Includes both October 29 & 30
⚠️ Limited to 300 attendees – this will sell out

Commit to both days. You’re worth it.

Thursday Only 10/29
$25

Can’t make both days? Show up for one—but make it count.

Thursday brings a full day of real conversations, powerful stories, and practical tools designed for first responders who are tired of pretending everything is fine.

What you’ll experience:

  • Speakers who have lived the job and the struggle
  • Clinicians who actually understand what we deal with
  • Breakout sessions focused on real-life application
  • Access to the Zen Den for a chance to reset and try something different

This isn’t surface-level.
This is honest, raw, and built for you.

⚠️ Valid for Thursday, October 29 only
⚠️ Limited capacity – once it’s full, it’s full

One day can still make an impact—if you show up.

Friday Only 10/30
$25

Friday continues the momentum with another full day of impactful speakers, meaningful conversations, and tools you can take back to your life immediately.

What you’ll experience:

  • More lived experience from responders who’ve been there
  • Continued access to trusted clinicians and community partners
  • Breakout sessions that go deeper into resilience, recovery, and growth
  • The Zen Den, giving you space to slow down, reset, and breathe

No fluff. No filters. Just real talk and real support.

⚠️ Valid for Friday, October 30 only
⚠️ Limited capacity – don’t wait

If you’ve been on the fence… this is your chance to step in.

Show up. Take something with you.
