Coping with illness; Coping with stress; Self-help & personal development

Your job is to help other people... but who's there to help you? Your mental health matters, and it's time to take care of it.

Whether you're a firefighter, a paramedic, an EMT, or a police officer, you're dealing with traumatic, stressful, and high-pressure situations every day.

Perhaps your role doesn't fit into these categories. Maybe you're a healthcare provider, or maybe you have a hands-on role in the military...

It doesn't matter which field you work in, first response work takes its toll. Your focus is on diffusing tense situations and helping others, and in the process, you witness more traumatic incidents than most people will see in their lifetime.

This can take its toll on your long-term mental health and emotional well-being... and perhaps you're already beginning to feel some of the consequences.

If you struggle with substance abuse or you've developed avoidant patterns that allow you to keep your emotions bottled up, you might be dealing with feelings of isolation and shame on top of the pressures your work is already putting on you.

Perhaps you're constantly in a state of hypervigilance and you find it difficult to relax, or maybe you throw yourself into your work so that you don't have the mental space to think about your own emotions.

Whether you're experiencing any of these things right now or not, it's critical to your work and to your own well-being that you put strategies in place to protect your mental health.

This much-needed guide for first responders is here to help you. It will equip you with a wealth of tools and strategies that will help you thrive in your role, no matter how stressful it gets.

Inside, you'll discover:

And much more.

You probably don't have a lot of spare time on your hands, and you may think that the stress you're dealing with is nothing compared to what some of the people you work with are going through.

But your mental health is important, and you'll only be able to bring your best to your work when you take care of it.

Equip yourself with all the strategies you need now so that stress and trauma never get the better of you.

Set yourself up to thrive-no matter how stressful your work gets: Grab a copy right now!

Mark Prince 5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of fresh airGreat book. High pressure jobs with life and death consequences can be mentally exhausting. Jerry offers great solutions to improve provider's life. Kristi Wiggins 5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for First Responders and their families!I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at this book before it was published! I have read a lot of books, listened to podcasts, and taken classes about First Responder self help and mental health. Jerry was able to summarize most of what I have taken from all of these sources and he put it in one book! A MUST read for any First Responder or family of First Responders. I did a lot of highlighting and go back a read some topics again because Jerry really breaks them down to make perfect sense and how to apply things in your career and family life! Thanks Jerry...ready for your next one!!
