Mark your calendars! On Thursday, May 8th from 6-7:30 we will be hosting our third Managing Mental Health and Trauma in the Mountains presentation at Black Diamond. Josie McKee from Responder Alliance will be sharing her stories as a member of Yosemite and Lander SAR teams and what it looks like to move through stress injuries, psych first aid scenarios, and high consequence decision making.

Josie has decades of experience climbing mountains, guiding, working in Search & Rescue, and teaching wilderness medicine. Her own journey with stress and trauma began in Yosemite National Park, working on the Search and Rescue team and constantly pushing her own limits in climbing. This combination led her to understand the impact of stress exposure and the value of resilience training. Josie now works as a mental performance coach for climbers and as Director of Operations & Communications at Responder Alliance, connecting first responders and outdoor professionals to stress resilience training.

This event is FREE thanks to support from Teton County Public Health, Black Diamond, and Yeah Buddy Pizza.
