Overview

With the nature of our work as emergency responders, we may experience operational stress. This can potentially impact different areas of our lives, such as our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This can also alter our general outlook on life and our interactions with others, including family, friends, and work colleagues.

Thus, it is important for us to first be aware of possible stressors and their impacts, so that we can learn some strategies to manage the stressors and take care of our well-being while continuing to fulfil our roles as emergency responders in saving lives and property!
