Backing the line: Strategies for assisting first responders in your community

Offering Trauma Recovery Network (TRN) or individual services to first responder communities can be challenging due to their reluctance to trust outside resources, yet ongoing exposure to trauma compromises their health, relationships and judgement in the field. The population demands culturally competent clinicians to hold the space and make the difference for them and their families. TRN teams and individual clinicians need skills to be successful and trusted when they are called to help the helpers. Gain perspective with an overview of the present day challenges they face and evaluate your clinicial and personal abilities to meet their very specific needs.
