Don't Lose Yourself: A First Responder's Mental Health Playbook
The social media page "The Salty Paramedic" was started with the goal of bringing humor and awareness about the jobs of first responders to help tackle the ongoing battle of mental health among them. It has amassed more than 300,000 followers across all social media platforms. It prompted the book Don't Lose Yourself: A First Responder's Mental Health Playbook to bring light to the instructor's story as a first responder and the different actions he takes to maintain a level head while working in this field and juggling family life, a social life, and everything in between. This class shares some of the lessons from the book. Topics include identify, find your why, reset, show compassion, invest in yourself, create an outlet, prioritize your life, and laugh.
