We know what to take on scene with us, but do we know what do with what we take home? This class provides practical information pertaining to firefighters’ mental health and normalizes the different reactions we all have to what we see. Students gain insight into how our brains process stress, the stress continuum, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. They are made aware of the warning signs of suicide and the steps to take if they suspect a co-worker or loved one appears to be overwhelmed and needs assistance. Attendees will walk away feeling hopeful and empowered, and with a list of personalized self-care techniques and resources.
