Manatee County and The Fire Watch Offer Final Watch Stander Training Sessions
Manatee County Government, in partnership with The Fire Watch, is continuing its mission to support veterans and prevent veteran suicide through the Watch Stander program. The initiative offers free training designed to help community members recognize warning signs and connect veterans with resources before they reach a crisis point.
The program is offered both in person and virtually, ensuring accessibility for participants across the county. The final two training sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, October 7, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Manatee County Government Administration building, and virtually on October 28 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
The Watch Stander program equips attendees with tools to identify and respond to veterans in need, making it possible for anyone in the community to play a role in saving lives. Training is fast, free, and available to all residents who want to make a difference.
