Life happens. Not just work but our lives outside of work can cause stress, anxiety, and issues that we must deal with to be healthy and happy. Often, our own self-care takes a backseat to taking care of others, completing our work responsibilities, and just making it through the day. This course reminds us that to take care of others, we must first, take care of ourselves. The various possible physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and behavioral effects are discussed. Techniques and strategies for dealing with these effects in a healthy and safe way are discussed. Concepts and techniques for family and friends are also covered. Lastly, resources are provided for additional assistance. The Five Pillars of wellness are described and applied to First Responders.
