Are you currently using the Calm app through MnFIRE? This news is for you!
We are transitioning from the Calm app to the Calm Health app to provide a more comprehensive experience. Your access to the Calm app will end on October 1, 2026, and you will need to register for a new Calm Health account.
Available through MnFIRE at no cost to Minnesota firefighters and their families, Calm Health offers much of the same mindfulness content as the Calm app – such as meditations, Sleep Stories, music/soundscapes and daily exercises – along with evidence-based programs written by psychologists to support your mental and physical well-being.
Visit mnfireinitiative.com/hhap for details on how to access this app for free!
