Fire Service Leaders,
The Georgia Fire Academy is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a NFA Direct Delivery of the course "Youth Firesetting Interviewing and Educational Intervention Strategies" on April 15-16, 2025.
This two-day course is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to conduct interviews/screenings and develop educational intervention programs for youth displaying fire misuse behaviors. The course will also cover how to implement these strategies to effectively address the needs of both the youth and their families.
The target audience for this course includes individuals with responsibilities related to youth firesetting intervention programs within their agency or community. We encourage mental and behavioral health professionals, social services staff, law enforcement, juvenile justice and probation personnel, fire investigators, and healthcare professionals to attend.
The course will be held at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center on April 15th and 16th, 2025. Please use the following link to register:
