Spotlight: Mike Clelland - First Responder Advocate

We're proud to welcome Mike Clelland as a sponsor of the Fore Sky Memorial Golf Tournament!

Attorney Mike Clelland has dedicated his career to standing up for Florida's first responders. As a former firefighter and battalion chief turned attorney, he understands the unique challenges firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, and their families face. He focuses on workers' compensation claims, including Florida's Heart/Lung Bill, as well as personal injury, Social Security disability, and other legal matters affecting those who serve our communities.

Mike developed a free Injury Assistance App designed to help first responders and their families have instant access to legal help for any type of injury, anywhere in the country. It was built with one mission in mind: Ensuring first responders have reliable legal support for their injury claims when they need it most. In a matter of two minutes, no matter where you are in the United States, you can get the legal assistance you need.

What is “motivational interviewing”? 🤔

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered technique that helps strengthen an individual’s motivation and commitment to change – a valuable skill for anyone supporting fire fighters through challenging decisions or transitions.

If you’re involved in peer support, lead a team, or want to better guide others through periods of change, join the IAFF Center of Excellence for “Motivational Interviewing: A Technique for Creating Lasting Change.”
