First responders are regularly exposed to dangerous and traumatic events, which can impact their mental health both in the short and long term. In response to these challenges, Stony Brook Medicine is launching a new resiliency training program aimed at preventing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among first responders.

The initiative will begin in 2026 and will be implemented through fire stations and emergency medical services organizations in New York and Texas. The goal of the program is to provide first responders with tools and strategies to help them cope with the psychological effects of their work.

More details about the program are available on the Stony Brook Medicine website.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
