Maintaining Your Mental Health
Maintaining Your Mental Health
FirstResponder_Brochure_Refresh_121420a[13072].pdfOn the morning of November 5, 2017, Fire Captain Ryan J. Mitchell died by suicide. During this year, Captain Mitchell was 1 of 243 Firefighters and Law Enforcement Officers in the United States who died by suicide according to the Ruderman White Paper on Mental Health and Suicide of First Responders. First Responders are at a greater risk for experiencing symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, substance use disorders and suicidal ideation. Many First Responders are reluctant to seek behavioral health services due to the stigma and shame associated with mental illness.
It's not only important to maintain your physical health as a first responder, but also your emotional and mental health. Look after yourself and your co-workers for any signs you or them may need intervention. Please see the brochure for more details.
