In 2018, multiple studies revealed that first responders, specifically firefighters, were 40 percent more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. Our first responders so selflessly put their life on the line every day to help the community and to save lives but are expected to have an “all in a day’s work” attitude. Their mental health is often pushed aside though they regularly experience traumatic events. We can not continue to overlook the poor mental health resources available to first responders.
