First Responder PTSD
First responders may be exposed to crisis, loss, injury, and danger on a repeated basis. Over time, that stress can accumulate into PTSD symptoms, emotional numbing, hypervigilance, irritability, sleep disturbance, or difficulty shifting out of survival mode.
Support can help first responders process accumulated trauma and reconnect with steadier coping, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of internal safety.
