Bulletproof spirit : the first responder's essential resource for protecting and healing mind and heart

Summary: Consistently being immersed in violence, tragedies, danger, and evil often scars the spirits of our emergency first responders, resulting in PTSD, depression, suicides (the number one cause of death for police officers), substance abuse, broken families, and emotional pain. Firefighters, police officers, soldiers, medics, and emergency room workers are vulnerable to feelings of helplessness and suffering, and many do not know where or how to find help. Based on 25 years of service as a police officer, Captain Dan Willis's handbook presents essential keys and approaches to emotional survival and well-being. This resource provides dozens of effective methods for first responders to protect and heal their minds and hearts based on lessons learned in the line of duty.
