Tactical Self Rescue to Host Event Introducing Employee Well-being Program

HOLYOKE — Tactical Self Rescue LLC, a safety and security education consultancy, is introducing its comprehensive employee well-being program to businesses through a hosted lunch and learn event.

This proven education platform is designed to strengthen corporate workforces by delivering actionable training in risk awareness, crisis readiness, and human resilience. The program equips employees with practical skills to navigate modern threats both inside and outside the workplace, demonstrating a clear employer investment in the well-being of their staff and their families.

While many companies focus strictly on basic regulatory requirements, Tactical Self Rescue contrasts this standard approach by delivering dynamic, real-world education, said Matthew Moriarty, founder and CEO of Tactical Self Rescue.

“Most organizations offer compliance training, but very few offer education that prepares employees for real-world situations that affect their lives and performance,” he noted. “The Tactical Self Rescue employee well-being program addresses this gap. It provides employees with training in cyber awareness, personal safety, mental resilience, and understanding of traumatic events.”

The founding story of Tactical Self Rescue stems from a vital community need for individuals and organizations to become more self-reliant and secure. Drawing from a 30-year career as a police officer and retiring as a police captain, Moriarty founded the organization on one core principle: to educate people to be ready, not afraid. Recognizing that proper information and preparation can mitigate or entirely avoid high-stress incidents, the company focuses on proactive risk avoidance and confident decision making. Working alongside Chief Operating Officer Michelle Moriarty, the leadership team ensures the overarching mission remains focused on empowering individuals to take control of their own safety.

What makes this consultancy unique is the extensive practical experience of its diverse training team. Led by seasoned law enforcement leadership, the instructor cadre includes military veterans, cyber specialists, martial arts experts, and mental health professionals. Through expert-led seminars, this team brings real-world experience into the corporate training environment. They work directly with clients to reduce fear, limit liability, and foster a workplace culture of preparedness and clarity.

Tactical Self Rescue and the Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce will present practical sessions on how investing in one’s team can improve retention, strengthen skills, and support day-to-day operations. Click here to register.
