Training for First Responders

The greatest threat to the health and wellbeing of first responders is stress. Stress is at the root of most, if not all chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, etc. In order to build the necessary health and resilience, and to assist with managing stress through proactive activities, mental fitness training is critical for first responders. It enhances their ability to handle the mental and emotional demands of the profession.

Regardless of where a first responder is at in their career whether first-year or veteran, or what their current health status is, there are things they can start doing today to build their mental fitness and enhance their resiliency.  Those who consistently practice taking control of how they think, feel, and act will experience an improved outlook, have better coping skills, and will ultimately reduce their chances of experiencing mental, emotional, and physical injuries.
