A real-life story of a Firefighters wellbeing journey.
Everyone, from all walks of life will at some point in their existence be affected by a traumatic or stressful event. These events have a detrimental impact on our wellbeing and mental health.
As a serving firefighter, I have felt this impact personally whilst responding to various emergency incidents. I want to share my story, so others who are similarly suffering, often in silence, can get the help they need and return to a place of calm.
I will explain why and how trauma can hurt you and detail a number of ways you can take back control and get your head back above the water.
