What We Treat
Because First Responder’s and public safety employees work can involve challenging emergencies such as violence or natural disasters, they may witness trauma or experience secondary trauma from treating victims. There is no single coping tactic that will work for everyone. Understanding and learning new tools on how to deal with trauma and stressful situations will enable first responders to return to work with a renewed sense of control and ability to be successful in their jobs.

First responders carry the weight of their own safety and well-being as well as those they serve, and thus making programmatic changes to educate them, offer them support, and protect their health and well-being would reduce the risk of suicidal ideation.

Support from Family and Friends
Learning how to re-engage with their family and friends will take time and patience. They may have hurt a lot of people along the way by their mental illness and need to learn some coping skills on mending hurt relationships. Family members may have bitterness and resentment towards them due to their numbing out or pushing them away. This includes their significant other, children and extended family.
Loved ones can help first responders deal with PTSD and look after their emotional wellness by being proactive. They can initiate conversations about mental health to discourage stigma around the subject. Talk about the elephant in the room; they can all see it.
