There is no doubt that both chronic stress and traumatic stress can wreak havoc on a person's entire being. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that a person's life can be altered in significant ways when the signs and symptoms of stress are not recognized and responded to in appropriate ways. This booklet, designed as part of Humanizing the Badge's #CallForBackup Suicide Awareness and Prevention Campaign, will provide first responders and/or their family members the information necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms of job-related stress, especially as it relates to suicide, and also provide them with strategies that will enable them to become more resistant to stress, and better prepared to handle the stress of a traumatic incident on the job.
