Firefighters strive to make certain titles for a variety of reasons. But sometimes we don’t realize that respect and leadership do not automatically come with a new title or “letter on our jersey”.

As an often overlooked and underappreciated component to a mental wellness program, training, and sometimes even therapy, emotional understanding and management play a key role in recovery and resilience.
