Stress-Related Mental Health Issues in Emergency Responders, First Receivers, Disaster Workers, and Their Families
InterAgency Board
"For decades it has been recognized that the unique and often stressful responsibilities and challenges faced by emergency responders and disaster workers may place them at a significantly higher risk of developing symptoms of psychological stress. This stress can result in a wide spectrum of short and long-term behavioral and mental health issues that can affect the operational readiness of both the individual and the organization where they are employed. Additionally, these stresses can have a significant impact on their private lives and relationships, potentially resulting in subsequent impact to their spouses, children and other close relatives or contacts."
