News Release

TVF&R And Local Law Enforcement Champion First Responder Wellness - 02/11/26

Media Invitation - Interview Opportunities 

Event: Washington County First Responder Wellness Initiative
Date: Thursday, February 12 
Time: Key speakers will begin at 2 p.m. 
Location: Station 53 – Progress | 8480 SW Scholls Ferry Road, Beaverton 97008 
RSVP To: Corrine Haning, Public Information Officer, Corrine.Haning@tvfr.com  
 
Please join us Thursday, February 12, at 2 p.m. as leaders of first responder agencies in Washington County discuss the role of mental health, the Struggle Well program TVF&R is making available agency-wide, and the effort to extend program accessibility to all Washington County fire, law enforcement, and emergency dispatch agencies.
Interview opportunities will be available with TVF&R Fire Chief Deric Weiss, Washington County Sheriff Caprice Massey, Tigard Police Chief Jamey McDonald, and Firefighter Paramedic Samantha Lundeby.

Since 2022, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue has partnered with the Boulder Crest Foundation and has committed to providing a two-day (16-hour) “Struggle Well” training workshop for all agency personnel. TVF&R is seeking state investment to provide one-time financial support to continue the District’s internal program and expansion into other Washington County first response agencies.

First responders are working to build resilience in a high-trauma profession. While they regularly respond to critical incidents, difficult calls can make them more susceptible to emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) is the basis of Struggle Well, a culture-change initiative developed by the Boulder Crest Foundation. Increasingly adopted by fire and law enforcement agencies across the U.S. as a best-practice model, the program is supported by research in positive psychology, resilience, and trauma recovery. To date, nearly 40 percent of TVF&R staff have attended a Struggle Well training, facilitated by in-house personnel trained as Struggle Well guides.

For questions day of, please call 503-259-1111 or email pio@tvfr.com.
