Today’s episode is powerful and different.
We’re celebrating EMS Week, which marks the 50th anniversary of National EMS Week.
The motto, ‘Honoring Our Past, Forging Our Future,’ encapsulates this momentous occasion perfectly. This week, we recognize the incredible contributions of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals and express our deepest gratitude for their lifesaving work.
In the spirit of ‘Honoring Our Past for a Healthy Future,’
Today’s podcast features discussions on the importance of mental health for first responders and disaster survivors. We aim to shed light on the challenges faced by EMS personnel and explore strategies to support their mental and emotional well-being."
