KEY POINTS

On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines,’ hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Erin Cain discuss how Milwaukee firefighters can now access free mental health resources through the new “All Hands Initiative.”, a program aiming to help firefighters cope with the trauma and stress of the job.

The Hidden Toll

The things firefighters witness on the job can have a lasting, unseen impact. This can lead to mental health struggles that need professional support.

Community of Support

Firefighters build strong bonds through shared experiences. This new initiative makes getting mental health care as normal as taking care of physical health within the department.

A Model to Follow

Hopefully, Milwaukee’s program encourages other fire departments around the country to prioritize mental health resources for the people who risk their lives for us.
