Publisher's Synopsis
Frontline workers are suffering without support, with the byproducts of high-stakes careers taking a toll on them and their families. A common thread is that the person suffering feels alone and isolated, sequestered from the help they need. These repetitive exposures rewire our brains, nervous systems, beliefs, and identities throughout our time on the job. This collection includes stories from frontline workers and their families from across the country with each author sharing a unique story about how their career has impacted them and details on how they have grown into a rejuvenated lifestyle of resilience. Each chapter contains one author's journey to recovery with a professional addition from a certified mental health worker including a personalized tool kit the author used to find their way from a life of hurt to one of healing. No one needs to suffer alone and this book is designed to help lead the way back as told by those who have done it in their own words.
100% of the proceeds will go to Mind the Frontline, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to help support first responders and their families.
