We are called to serve. The opportunity to help others often draws individuals to public service and the profession of first responders. Yet it also requires them to experience critical incidents daily, which inevitably can take an emotional toll on those within this profession. Former Police Officer and our current Director of Angie's Place, Cristie Fry, explains it succinctly in her words: "You can only train for action and response. It is impossible to know how you will feel during and after experiencing critical incidents. Especially kid calls." These professionals must have the time and space to debrief with a trusted peer or culturally qualified therapist or team, such as The Northern Illinois Critical Incident Stress Management (NICISM). This part of the job is invaluable and can often prevent future disorders such as PTSD. If you or someone you know is searching for where to go to safely debrief their experiences on the job, please reach out to our team at Angie's Place. Our licensed therapists have the cultural awareness and expertise to provide you with the support you desire. ...... For more information, you can visit angies-place.com or email Cristie at [email protected]. Angie's Place is a service provided by Your Story Counseling and provides supportive mental health services for first responders, veterans, and their families. #firstrespondermentalhealth #AngiesPlace #craftingyournextchapter #breakthestigma #yourstory
