Carry On.
LODD Family Preparedness Training
⏱ 2 Hours
👥 Personnel + Families
📄 Carry On Packet Included
What is Carry On?
Carry On is a 2-hour experiential training session designed for front line personnel and their families. It is the cornerstone program of Code 3 Legacy and Front Line Wellness — built around one core belief: preparedness only works if it happens before the worst day arrives.
Unlike a lecture or a handout, Carry On is experiential by design. Every attendee works through the LODD Family Preparedness Packet during the session — making real decisions about funeral wishes, financial resources, legal documents, and notification preferences — so that no family member is ever left to figure it out alone under the weight of grief.
The Carry On Packet is started in the room and completed at home with a spouse or partner — turning the training into a living document the whole family owns.
This is not a training about dying. It is a training about being ready to carry on.
