This Su***de Prevention Week, we’re shining a light on the mental health challenges faced by those who spend their lives helping others. 💐
First responders typically see more trauma in ONE day than most people see in their entire lifetime. Over time, trauma and critical incident stress can compound, contributing to a growing mental health crisis. Yet stigma and barriers to seeking help can make it difficult to reach out. And the impact doesn’t stop with the first responder; spouses and significant others can experience vicarious trauma, too.
At First Responder Support Network, we believe there is hope and help. Our programs provide first responders and their significant others with connection, support, and tools to heal and get back to life.
You don’t have to carry it alone. Learn more about our trauma healing retreats here: https://www.frsn.org/ 💛
