June is PTSD Awareness Month and not all injuries are visible.
As volunteer firefighters, we answer the call when our communities need us the most. We respond to emergencies, tragedies, and life changing events without hesitation. While many people see the lights, sirens, and the work we do on scene, they don’t always see the emotional weight that follows us home.
Some calls stay with us long after the trucks are back in the hall. The faces, the sounds, the moments we wish we could change can leave scars that aren’t visible to the eye. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very real challenge faced by firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel everywhere.
This PTSD Awareness Month, let’s continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Checking in on one another, having honest conversations, and reaching out for support are not signs of weakness, but rather they are signs of courage and strength.
To every firefighter, first responder, and emergency worker carrying the weight of difficult calls, you are not alone. Your service matters. Your sacrifices matter. Your story matters. Most importantly, your mental health matters.
Take care of your crew, take care of your family, and take care of yourself. We spend our lives helping others through their worst days, it is okay to ask for help when you’re facing your own.
Together, we can ensure that no firefighter or first responder fights their battles alone.
