Today Scorch was feeling very hot-headed, so he stopped by to see the Walthourville Fire Department to meet some firefighters. The fire chief found Scorch and asked him what was wrong. Scorch shared his feelings with him, and guess what? The fire chief made Scorch "FIRE CHIEF" for the day! The other firefighters came out and took him four a tour of the fire truck, and he even got to hop on for a ride! Scorch even got to sit in the fire chief's sweet ride! After everything was over, the firefighters asked Scorch if he felt better, and he said yes. The firefighters reminded him that he could always come back if he ever needed them. The Walthourville Fire Department demonstrated how they "Tame Their Dragon", and they can help you too.

Scorch was feeling furious today so he headed over to the Liberty County EMS station to see the paramedics and EMTs. They saw him in the bushes and invited him into their ambulance. They helped him get into the stretcher and lovingly covered him in a cozy blanket so he could relax. They stayed and talked with Scorch until he felt better, and gently reminded him how much they care. The Liberty County EMS showed us how they "Tame Their Dragon" and they can help you too.

Scorch popped up that the Liberty County Fire Rescue today. While Scorch hid in the fire truck he noticed that the firefighters had just returned from a fire call. Scorch tried to "ice" them down to cool them off, but the firefighters were already ready for him! The Liberty County Fire and Rescue showed us how they "Tame Their Dragon", and they can help you too.

Thank you Chief Roney, Lt. Robertson, Senior Firefighter Caronongan, and Firefighter Everett for taking these pictures and showing how much Liberty County Fire Rescue cares for the communities mental health.

Thank you Hinesville Police Department, Chief Howard, Detective Johnson, Detective Floyd, Detective Lachowsky, SGT Stroman, Public Safety Support Specialist PS3 Lopez, PS3 Archangel, Officer Jones, Officer Spears, Traffic Control Officers Officer Gallob and Officer Olsen. It was truly remarkable to witness the Hinesville Police Department's profound dedication to the well-being of our community's mental health. Chief Howard has some inspirational words to share about how to "Tame Your Dragon".

Chief Howard's quote is as follows:
"The dragon is not the danger outside; it's the anger, fear, doubt or pain that can rise up inside us often fed by stress, trauma, or simply the pressure to stay strong. Left unchecked, this dragon can burn bridges, cloud judgement, and weigh heavily on our health and day to day living."

Scorch was very frustrated so he made his was back to the Hinesville Police Department and guess what? The detective spotted him AGAIN! He saw that Scorch wasn't feeling very happy and gently led him to a quiet place where he could figure out what he was feeling. A patrol officer and detective gave him a bottle of water and even sat with him until he felt better. Once again the Hinesville Police Department demonstrated their ability to "Tame Their Dragon."

Scorch visited the Hinesville Police Department today because he felt a bit anxious and knew he would be safe there. The detective noticed him trying to "camouflage" himself into the bushes and kindly asked if he was OK. Scorch told him that he felt that he had used all his coping skills and needed to calm down. The detective radioed for backup and soon more detectives, public safety support specialists, and patrol officers arrived to lend a hand! They let Scorch calm down in the patrol car where it was nice and quiet. Plus, one of the detectives was right there with him offering a comforting presences as he worked on calming down. The Hinesville Police Department showed us how they "Tame Their Dragon" and they can help you too.

Thank you Liberty County Sheriff's Office, Georgia and Sheriff Bowman for allowing Coastal Family Counseling to take pictures with your department today. Sheriff Bowman has provided us with valuable guidance on effectively managing challenging situations.
Sheriff Bowman's quote is as follows:
"Everybody gets angry sometimes- That's normal. What's important is how you deal with it. Take a deep breath, walk away, or talk to someone you can trust before you react. Anger can make us say or do things we regret. Remember, asking for help shows strength, not weakness."
