Just like having to RESET a PASS device on an SCBA, our relationships are the same.

When you spend time with your partner, you are RESETing that PASS device so it will stop or keep from sounding off. This might look like a date night provided by RESET, an outing designed just for the firefighter or their partner, or taking advantage of a free coaching session.

The important thing is to always make sure the PASS doesn’t go off.

Couples gain valuable insights through

💍 marriage retreats

❤️ date nights

🌱 and access to counseling and coaching services

They also have access to other resources for their relationship through First Things First and Stronger Families, an organization that focuses on military and first responder families, particularly specializing in PTSD and addressing mental health.

RESET was created by Brad (a Chattanooga Firefighter) and Lydia Freeman (a life coach with a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies) out of their desire to invest in, support, and help strengthen firefighter relationships and marriages.
