We need to make them formal mentors. I mean, you know I wrote it, or I wrote it and I've said it a couple times in the past since I started the show- is that the word brotherhood is used so often. Anytime you see somebody have an emotional problem instead of, it's not a physical injury, it's an emotional injury.
When was the last time you thought about the mental health of those who rush into danger to save lives? In this compelling episode of 'Rescue the Rescuer', host Michael Sugrue sits down with Anthony 'Tony' Correia, a veteran with 40 years in fire and emergency services. They tackle the urgent need to shift away from the 'suck it up, buttercup' mentality that has long plagued first responders.
Tony, who has held leadership roles and remains an active firefighter and paramedic, brings a wealth of experience and insight to the table. Together, they explore the heavy toll of PTSD, addiction, and compassion fatigue on those in the field. Tony shares his vision for a healthier future, emphasizing the importance of mentoring, training, and community involvement.
He believes that by integrating stress management into training and fostering a supportive environment, we can help first responders not just survive but thrive. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the well-being of our everyday heroes. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges they face and the solutions that can make a real difference.
