Cries for help. Maneuvering through carnage. Wails of heartbreak from grieving loved ones. Being held at gunpoint. These are all instances that the average individual would equate with the “worst day of their lives” but in reality, these situations are typical occurrences in the lives of our emergency medicine providers. What happens when our everyday heroes need support?

Each presentation within this series approaches the topic of mental wellness for EMS personnel from an awareness standpoint rather than a diagnostic one. Our intent is to help save YOU—our livesavers—and eliminate the stigma of weakness that is associated with asks for help.
