Our First Responders
Life changing events happen everyday. As first responders, we do not get to pick and choose where we go and who we help. Sometimes we are called to help deliver a beautiful, healthy baby. Sometimes it’s comforting and calming a patient having an anxiety attack. Other times we get called to scenes where there is loss of life.
No matter what the call is it takes a toll on our mental health. We are extremely thankful for all of the first responders in our community, in the nation, and throughout the world.
The mental toll of responding to emergencies and various incidents can be detrimental to the mental health of our first responders. It can also affect their families and their communities.
As a community we need to stand with our first responders. Celebrate with them during the good times but, more importantly, stand with them, grieve with them, and comfort them during the bad times.
Please let all of our first responders know how much they are loved and appreciated.
Help us keep our first responders not only physically healthy, but mentally healthy.
