Strong families rarely fall apart overnight. Often, the small clues show up first.

Nick Metz brings the perspective of a retired police chief, counselor, and co-founder of Code-4 Counseling in Colorado. His work helps first responders and their families recognize what is happening beneath the surface, strengthen communication, and turn moments of conflict into opportunities for deeper connection.

Be there for Nick’s session November 6–8 in Everett.

What a day at Dwellers Drinkery! 💙

The Lake Stevens community came together for an incredible First Responders Day filled with sunshine, football, spaghetti, drinks, and plenty of community spirit!

From exciting raffle prizes to a 50/50 raffle that reached $1,200, the day was full of fun, generosity, and meaningful connections. Most importantly, we gathered to honor and remember Washington State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd (EOW 03.02.2024 - behindthebadgefoundation.org/roll-call/gadd-trooper-christopher-m).

A heartfelt thank you to Dwellers Drinkery and everyone who came out to support this special day. We're grateful for a community that continues to show up, give back, and honor our fallen heroes.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day, a day that calls attention to the importance of mental health support and access to care.

For first responders, cumulative stress, trauma, and the demands of the job can sometimes reach a point where more intensive support is needed. First Responder Wellness offers residential treatment designed specifically for public safety professionals in a setting where participants are surrounded by people who understand the culture and the work.

A first look at this year’s Jayme Biendl Memorial 5K Walk/Run event shirt. 💙

More than something to wear on race day, the shirt is a reminder of why this community continues to gather each year: to honor Officer Jayme Biendl, remember her service and sacrifice, and stand together in support of Washington’s law enforcement community.

Register to join us January 24 at Sky River Park in Monroe.

Supporting law enforcement families is not separate from supporting officers. It is part of the same work.

When families have access to connection, education, and community, officers are better supported at home and agencies benefit from a stronger circle of care around the people who serve.

The 2026 LEFN Conference is an opportunity for agencies, peer support teams, chaplains, leaders, and family members to help strengthen that circle.

This weekend is designed to create practical conversations around law enforcement life at home and the support systems that help families navigate it.

We encourage agencies across Washington to share this opportunity with officers and their families now, so they have time to make plans for November.
