• You need to appear the stoic public servant who has tremendous mental fortitude and is willing to risk your own life, put everything aside, and handle that tragedy, medical emergency, or crisis.

• First responders are not immune to pain, anger, and sadness, yet do you fear showing cracks in their emotional armor, knowing that opening up could risk your job?
• Your relationship has been affected because of the work that you do?
