For First Responders

As a First Responder

You leave your family daily, not knowing what challenges or traumatic situations you may face. inLife Clinic would like to provide you with a safe, confidential place for working through the impact of the stressors and traumas you have experienced.

Have you continued to be disturbed by a bad call?
Do you suffer from interrupted sleep or sleep deprivation?
Do you frequently find yourself being impatient or irritable?
Are your close relationships feeling strained?

As A Police Officer...

Daily, You Serve and Sacrifice:

You Are Constantly Criticized and Watched:

If You Are In An Officer-Involved Shooting

The impact from a critical incident, or years of accumulative stress, can leave you with:

You Are Interested in Counseling but Concerned That:

Someone finding out and thinking you are weak
Others thinking you can’t do your job
Loss of respect from your fellow officers or command staff
Losing your job

As A Fire Fighter or Medic...

As A Firefight or Medic You Are:

Your Daily Life Unpredictable:

You are often required to go from eating your dinner or being in a deep sleep to climbing in the rig,
As you race to someone’s crisis, while trying to formulate a plan on how to handle the emergency, there will be unknowns you cannot predict but must be ready to handle.
You must also handle the trauma of the loved ones who are watching helplessly as the crisis unfolds.
The hysterical mother screaming because her children are still in the house being quickly consumed by flames.
The wife begging her husband not to die.
The look in the father’s eyes when you told him you could not save his infant son.
You are left wanting to just go home to hug your own children.

After a challenging or bad call:

You may talk about a bad call when you return to quarters.
If you keep talking about it, your fellow fire fighters may assume that you are not emotionally strong enough to handle the job. Then you keep it to yourself and try to work it out on your own.
You find fulfillment in helping others, yet those are the very calls that cause you to feel like you failed.
After it has hurt long enough, and with more trauma than you can hold in, you begin to wonder if you can continue to do this job.

Incident or accumulative stress can leave you with:
