Make the Commitment to Support the Health & Wellbeing of Your Crew!

January 13, 2026

The start of a new year is the perfect time to assess how you can improve health and wellness for yourself and your crew. The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) invites departments to make the commitment to the health and wellness of their crew by becoming a Psychologically Healthy Fire Department (PHFD).

Through the PHFD program, department leaders learn strategies and best practices for fostering a healthy, successful, and engaged workforce. Your department will also be showcased on the NVFC web site as a department dedicated to member wellbeing.

To get started, follow these three steps:

• Submit the commitment form
• Take the free course Building a Healthy and High-Performing Fire Department
• Review the PHFD: Implementation Toolkit
