Breaking the Silence: Mental Health and Michigan Volunteer Firefighters and First Responders
In the realm of public safety, first responders are the everyday heroes among us who rush headfirst into emergencies, often saving lives or property and at great personal risk. They face a unique set of challenges and stressors that can take a severe toll on their mental health and personal relationships. They are regularly thrown into traumatic situations, witness immense human suffering, and face life-and-death decisions.
In this podcast, we begin a conversation to help break the silence in Michigan. We acknowledge the mental health challenges facing first responders, which is the first step toward breaking the silence and stigma. We speak with members of East Jordan and Charlevoix Township volunteer firefighters and first responders on the mental health challenges they face; the importance of addressing mental health issues; and how they actively work toward breaking the silence and ending the stigma.
