When navigating the challenging waters of work-related stress, first responders and their families need to know they're not alone. At Blue Thanksgiving, Inc., we believe it is important to have this crucial support available to our heroes. This month, we were honored to join Cobb County in hosting an impactful event where attendees not only enjoyed a comforting dinner but also gained invaluable insights into managing job-related stress.
This event offered comprehensive education on recognizing the signs of stress and effective coping mechanisms tailored to both first responders and their families. With a licensed counselor on-site leading educational sessions and peer support readily available, attendees found a supportive community of understanding peers.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cobb County for spearheading this essential initiative and for graciously inviting us to play a part. Events like these epitomize the essence of our "Balancing the Blue Line" campaign, which strives to prioritize the mental well-being of our first responders.
Your support is vital in ensuring the success of future events aimed at bolstering the mental health of our brave first responders here in Cobb.

Last week, we sadly bid farewell to a hero, Mike Nolin, Sr.  After serving in law enforcement for 41 years, and with the Cobb County Police Department for 26 of those years, Sergeant Nolan leaves behind a legacy of dedication, compassion, and service.
Throughout his career, Sgt. Nolin touched the lives of many with his kindness, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to public safety. His impact on our community will always be remembered and cherished.
To Sgt. Nolin's family and loved ones, we extend our heartfelt sympathies and support during this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and we stand with you in solidarity as we remember and celebrate the remarkable life of this hero.

On April 12th Cobb County 911 held their 1st Cobb County DEC Awards Ceremony following a revamp of the awards & recognition program. In a packed training room, more than a dozen of their team members were recognized for their years of service and exceptional work. We were proud to provide a reception for those in attendance including 911 dispatchers and staff, friends and family, county official and other public safety partners. 
The awards ceremony was the perfect kick-off to National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, which commences April 14th.
We would like to congratulate all those who received awards and recognition and say "Thank you!" to all our 911 dispatchers here in Cobb County and across this great nation.

Blue Thanksgiving was proud to once again be a part of the Cobb Public Safety Forum on March 16 at the Cobb County Department of Public Safety Training Center.  Everyone in attendance including the public safety officers and representatives were treated to a cookout of hamburgers and hotdogs, bringing the total number of meals we provided with the active shooter training event to approximately 1400!  Multiple public safety agencies came together for this day of community education and relationship building.  Topics covered included community trust, active shooter response, emerging technology, gun safety, community engagement and teen talk.  To view photos of this event, please be sure to visit our Gallery page!
