Abstract/Description

Abstract

First responders (FRs) face a variety of hazards and trauma on any given day. Regular exposure to these traumatic events such as fatal accidents, burn victims, drug overdoses, suicides, murder etc. can take a toll on an individual’s well-being and mental health (MH). The aim of this literature review is to examine recent, empirical studies to determine adequacy of MH resources available for contemporary FRs.
