CDPHE 2026 Grant Workshop
2025-12-11 13:00 - 14:00 | Microsoft Teams Meeting
Important Updates to the CDPHE Provider Grant Program
The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has announced significant changes to the Provider Grant Program timeline for this funding cycle. To ensure every agency in Northeast Colorado is prepared and competitive, NCRETAC is hosting a regional grant workshop open to:
* All EMS agencies
* Emergency Departments & Trauma Centers
* Hospital leadership and grant administrators
* Local government partners supporting EMS and trauma care
📅 New Grant Timeline
* Grant application opens: December 1, 2025
* Grant application closes: January 31, 2026This accelerated timeline means organizations will need to begin preparing earlier than usual.
📣 Regional Grant Workshop
Date: Thursday, December 11, 2025Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PMLocation: Online via Microsoft TeamsJoin Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YWQ0MzBlZDktN2Q1Ni00MDAxLWI3NjQtYTg2MjU1YjIzOTNj%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2245fe812b-c0af-4627-89de-c698f8bbc974%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%220dbec751-62a5-4132-85b3-0848a8fafcdd%22%7dDial in by phone: +1 323-694-0365,,702946930# United States, Los Angeles
During this workshop, CDPHE staff will review:
* Changes to the Provider Grant Program
* Eligible expenditures for EMS agencies and trauma centers
* Tips for competitive applications
* Regional priorities and coordination opportunities
* Q&A for your agency’s project ideas
Why Attend?
This grant program is the largest statewide investment in EMS and trauma system support, returning more than $1.6 million to the NCRETAC region over the past two years alone. With the shortened timeline, early preparation is essential to ensure our agencies continue receiving the support they deserve.
If your organization plans to apply—or even if you’re unsure—please join us. This is the best opportunity to align regional needs, strengthen applications, and maximize funding across Northeast Colorado.

Austere Emergency Care
2025-12-15 - 2025-12-18 | Yuma Ambulance Station (302 E 2nd Ave, Yuma, CO, United States)
Austere Emergency Care

Presented by Anyone Not Ready
Sponsored by Northeast Colorado RETAC

📅 Date: December 15–18, 2025
🕗 Time: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Yuma City Ambulance, Yuma, Colorado

Overview
Austere Emergency Care (AEC) is an advanced, four-day training combining classroom, hands-on labs, and a full-day immersive scenario designed to prepare medical providers to manage critically ill or injured patients in resource-limited or remote settings. The curriculum integrates principles from Prolonged Field Care (PFC), Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC), and Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) guidelines, applying best practices for delivering high-level care when immediate evacuation or hospital access is not feasible.
Participants will engage in scenario-based learning, problem-solving with limited resources, and group decision-making under austere conditions. A final full-day casualty exercise (with role players/simulated patients) integrates all lessons from the week.
This offering will include two tracks (Basic / Advanced) to accommodate learners of differing experience levels, with many shared objectives and practicums.

Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for:

EMS professionals (EMTs, paramedics)
Emergency department providers (nurses, physicians)
Prehospital providers with responsibilities in rural, remote, or austere environments.
Search & rescue, wilderness medicine, disaster response, and rescue teams.
Others with prior clinical experience seeking to expand their capability in prolonged care settings.

Prerequisite: Familiarity with TECC / TCCC or equivalent baseline trauma care skills is strongly recommended.
Upon successful completion, participants receive a certificate and may be eligible for up to 40 continuing education credits (CE) (and FAWM credit for AEC-Advanced where applicable).

Course Logistics

Dates: December 15–18, 2025 (4 full days)
Location: Yuma, CO
Class size: Maximum of 18 students
Waiting list: Will be maintained for those unable to be accommodated.
Pre-course requirement: Online pre-work / lessons and brief quiz (to be completed before arrival).
Final evaluation: Online post-course test for certification.

Registration & Tuition Policy
We welcome registrations from any qualified provider, but priority placement will be given to EMS and ED providers from within the 9-county Northeast Colorado region.

Regional participants (from the 9-county Northeast region):
– Deposit: $100 (refundable upon completion of the course)
– Tuition: No additional cost beyond deposit, upon fulfilling course attendance and requirements.
External participants (outside the 9-county region):
– Tuition: $1,000 (nonrefundable) Black Friday Special Coupon discounts price to $250! Use code ‘AECBlackFriday’ only until 12/1!
– Full tuition due upon registration.

If a class slot is unavailable, external registrants will be placed on the waiting list and notified should a spot open.
Because of the limited class size, early registration is strongly encouraged.

Expectations & Preparation

Participants should arrive ready to engage in both didactic and hands-on sessions.
Bring your usual EMS / critical care gear (details provided in registration package).
Expect physically and mentally intensive training, working under realistic stress conditions.
Cold Weather Preparedness: December conditions in Yuma can be cold and unpredictable. Students must bring appropriate cold-weather clothing suitable for extended outdoor activity. Some sessions and the culminating scenario will take place outside for extended periods regardless of weather.
Collaboration, mutual learning, and open exchange of experiences are core to this format.

Regional Accessibility
Hosting the Academy in Yuma ensures easy access for participants from across Northeast Colorado’s nine-county region.
NCRETAC is proud to sponsor this program, bringing world-class training to our local workforce and building stronger, more resilient emergency services across the plains and foothills.

40-Hour National Peer Support Academy
2026-01-26 - 2026-01-30 | Overland Trail Museum – Sterling, 110 Overland Trail, Sterling, CO, 80751, United States
40-Hour National Peer Support Academy

Presented by First Responder Trauma Counselors
Sponsored by Northeast Colorado RETAC

📅 Date: January 26–30, 2026
🕗 Time: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Overland Trail Museum, Sterling, Colorado

What Is Peer Support and Why It Matters
Peer support is a structured, confidential, and culturally grounded approach that empowers responders to help responders.
In Northeast Colorado and other rural or frontier communities, access to behavioral health professionals can be limited. Peer support bridges that gap by building a trusted network of colleagues who understand the realities of the work — the long shifts, critical incidents, and emotional toll that come with serving others.
Peer support programs:

Create safe spaces for responders to talk openly about stress and trauma.
Provide early intervention before challenges escalate into crises.
Normalize help-seeking and reduce stigma around mental health.
Strengthen agency culture by promoting trust, compassion, and resilience.
Ensure that responders know when and how to connect peers to professional help.

These efforts are essential for EMS, fire, law enforcement, dispatch, and hospital personnel who serve across the nine counties of our region — ensuring we remain strong, supported, and ready to respond.

What You’ll Learn
This 40-hour Colorado P.O.S.T.–approved academy delivers a comprehensive, evidence-informed curriculum rooted in the best practices of peer support as endorsed by IAFF, IACP, SAMHSA, and the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
Participants will gain hands-on experience and practical tools across the following areas:

Foundations of Peer Support — ethics, structure, and confidentiality
Communication & Listening Skills — verbal, nonverbal, and facilitation techniques
Problem Assessment & Solving — identifying issues early and supporting colleagues effectively
Crisis Management & Critical Incident Stress — immediate response, stabilization, and follow-up
Suicide Awareness, Assessment, and Prevention
Grief, Loss, and Survivorship — helping peers and families navigate traumatic loss
Stress Management & Resilience Building — preventing burnout, compassion fatigue, and “boreout”
Dependency & Substance Misuse — understanding how trauma affects coping and recovery
Relationship & Family Dynamics — maintaining balance between service and home life
Cross-Cultural Competence — inclusion, diversity, and understanding across responder roles
Organizational Stress & Communication — improving morale and reducing internal conflict
Operational & Policy Guidelines — how to integrate peer programs within agencies
Use of Therapy & K-9 Teams in Peer Support — practical, human-centered connection tools

Graduates leave equipped to create and sustain peer support programs that improve well-being, reduce turnover, and strengthen team performance across all first responder disciplines.

Hosting the Academy at the Overland Trail Museum in Sterling ensures easy access for participants from across Northeast Colorado’s nine-county region.
