Many people wrongly assume that Post Traumatic Stress is inevitable for anyone exposed to trauma, this guest states that for him personally, it is clearly not the case. He speaks openly about how he has endured trauma both at home and on the front lines as a Firefighter but has never suffered from PTSI. In fact he believes that the majority of firefighters are not affected by trauma and live mentally healthy lives.
Working in one of the busiest fire departments will definitely affect you and perhaps your family, but this 31-year veteran believes that he has retired from his career completely unaffected.
Steve and this guest have worked together for over 30 years, they have a very special relationship, only one struggled and the other did not.
Listen to them talk about their different perspectives on mental health in fire service.
