“Recruit Two, Make a Difference: FSPA’s 2026 Growth Goal”

By: Robert Avsec, FSPA Operations Chief

As of today, January 7th, 2026, we are proud to represent a diverse and growing community dedicated to supporting the mental health and resilience of fire service professionals and moving the field of fire psychology forward.

Where We Stand

80 Psychologists
55 Psychology Associates (masters-level clinicians)
58 Fire Service Members
16 Psychology Students

That’s a total of 209 passionate individuals working together to make a difference!

But imagine the impact if each of us brought two new colleagues into the fold this year. Whether they’re fellow clinicians, fire service professionals, or students eager to learn, your outreach can help strengthen our network and amplify our mission.

Why Recruit?

Expand Our Expertise: More members mean more perspectives, resources, and shared knowledge.
Increase Our Impact: A larger community can advocate more effectively for mental health in the fire service.
Build Connections: Help colleagues access training, support, and collaboration opportunities.

Your Challenge for 2026

Reach out to two colleagues—invite them to join FSPA and be part of something bigger. Share your experience, highlight the benefits, and let them know how they can contribute to this vital mission.
