Description: This webinar explores a topic familiar to most first responders but seldom discussed: how the job gradually affects them over time. Instead of focusing on a single incident, it looks at cumulative exposure and why certain experiences linger with responders long after their shifts. The session covers why many reactions are normal, how moral conflicts and repeated exposure can impact sleep, mood, and outlook, and why many individuals feel fine until problems emerge at home or work. Through real-world examples and guided discussion, participants will learn to spot early warning signs in themselves and colleagues, understand what resilience truly entails in this profession, and discover practical methods to process difficult calls without bearing the burden alone.
