Mental Health Mayday: A Firefighter's Survival Guide from Recruit through Retirement - Paperback

by Gregg Bagdade (Author)

From their swearing-in all to the way until retirement, even the most hardened firefighters can be affected by mental health concerns. This book explores the why and explains the how to better prepare these individuals for a healthy and productive career and life, based on my personal experience as a counselor, who also has 27 years as a firefighter and paramedic. Firefighters can learn how to acknowledge their mental health issues, such as PTSD, addiction, or anger issues while developing strategies to address these concerns with techniques and solutions throughout their career.
