Volunteer fire and EMS personnel regularly go from their normal daily routines to a response mode that can expose them to acute, and sometimes traumatic, stress.
Unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to serious behavioral health issues, including PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and substance abuse.
NVFC's new course examines PTSD
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) offers a new course that examines PTSD and the various types of substance abuse that is frequently seen in the fire service, how PTSD can relate to substance abuse, and how to get help.
Take this course for free for a limited time in the NVFC Virtual Classroom.
