With any high-performance and demanding career comes an inherent level of stress and weighted responsibility. Whether experiencing trauma as a police officer, firefighter, dispatcher, or any first responder, the long-term impact on the body and brain can be overwhelming if not “unpacked” properly and regularly. Sadly, we often offload that stress abruptly and in an inappropriate and potentially harmful manner. No matter your profession, everyday life has a fair share of trauma with death, loss, and grief. As leaders, we solve problems, resolve conflicts, and sometimes ask others to perform extreme tasks. Providing vital mental wellness training is an important part of taking care of your people.
