Mental health care is something we have been hearing more often in EMS, Fire and Health Care. This has been growing in response to the amount of people affected in this line of work. We are seeing more and more depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, excess eating, PTSD and even suicides.
FireResuce1 recently shared a story where it talked about this, “More firefighters and police died by suicide than in the line of duty in 2017”.

​

EMS, Fire and Health Care are very stressful lines of work, and if we don’t start changing how we see ourselves or how we deal with our emotions, we are doomed.

 

From EASPA’S Foundation, a non profit organization in Argentina, we have also been working on PTSD for some years now. We are an emergency care training facility.

For several years we have noticed that it was great working on PTSD, but we started thinking if there could be another way, a way of preventing it.
We started doing a lot of research on this. For the past 8 years we have been looking for other tools to help people with PTSD.

If 50 years ago, somebody came over and told us that a heart problems could be prevented, we would have just denied it. Today we know we can work on the diet, reducing stress, do exercise, etc, and that helps reduce heart problems. We cannot eradicate heart problems, but we can reduce them by focusing on the risk factors.
 
In the past 3 years, together with a multidisciplinary team of health care personnel, psychologists and therapists, we have been working on identifying the most important risk factors that lead to PTSD. 

We started looking more into the Humanistic Psychology. It was when we focused on the risk factors that lead to depression, addiction, PTSD and suicide, where we realized that we were doing things the wrong way.
 
We found that since we were small kids, up to when we finish our EMS, Fire or Health Care career, we are taught many things that fast track us to depression, addiction, PTSD and suicide.
