Free Resources for Redefining Firefighter Wellness
On this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Chris Marella sits down with David Frost from the University of Toronto to discuss a major overhaul of the Wellness Fitness Initiative (WFI) and the Fit to Thrive program.

Frost details how the new WFI provides a modular, five-stage implementation road map, helping departments of all sizes build wellness committees, navigator labor management dynamics, and break the ice with department chiefs.
