Florida Fire Chaplains Conference 2026

The 2026 Florida Fire Chaplains Conference is dedicated to supporting fire rescue personnel through chaplaincy, wellness, and mental health initiatives. The event features speakers and sessions on critical topics such as establishing a new fire department culture focused on wellness, understanding and addressing stress spillover in firefighter families, suicide prevention, and leveraging digital platforms for effective support. Attendees can participate in TED Talk-like sessions from fellow chaplains and experts, a vehicle extrication demonstration by Marion County Fire Rescue, and engage with a special guest comedian. The conference aims to strengthen chaplaincy practices and provide practical frameworks for supporting first responders and their families.
