ST-09  Stress Awareness    6 Hours       $35.00

Stress has negative impact on the lives of over 90% of Americans.  Emergency Services personnel are exposed to this and much more.  For your health and well-being, we want you to be aware of ALL of the "hazards" that can harm you.  We will look at the daily, "ordinary" stress in your life and that which is inherent to the job we do.  We will explore "typical", "critical incidents", "immediate" and "long-range" effects and some of the "signs and symptoms".  And, last, but not least' we will explore some of the resources to mitigate stress and how to access these resources.  Bring your in-service continuing education forms.

Target Audience:  All ranks & experience levels of Fire Service, EMS, Law Enforcement, Dispatchers, Emergency Room Personnel, & Chaplains
