This text is much better suited for frontline first responders and their family than her other book. She clearly lays out the consequences that can come with serving others as a first responder and possible negative but common responses. Reading this book might help you or help you help others you serve with. Understanding these issues before a problem arises can help one avoid risk factors, focus on resilience, and navigate any trauma related issues more successfully.

Wonderful book. As a new first responder, I needed an outlook on how to enter this profession in a healthy way. Before reading this book, I wasn’t sure how to evaluate if hard calls were affecting me + what steps to take if they were. Reading this book equipped me to care for myself + those I work with better. Every person in the emergency services should read this book.
