Manage episode 433835110 series 3592683
Joining via zoom is Dr. Michele Vecchione, a psychotherapist in Florida, who is a great resource for our first responder and military community. Dr. Vecchione also authored The Compassion Conundrum, a manual that offers resources and tools for our community.
With the experience of traumatic calls for service on a daily basis within our community, we are more open to burnout and compassion fatigue. With our recent staffing shortages and negative media content, we lean into using alcohol and other negative coping mechanisms.
We are taught to put others before self, which is something Dr. Vecchione is trying to change as we need to take care of ourselves in order to best serve our community. It is vital to have tools and resources set in place in the event you need them after experience a tough call for service that affects you.
