Saving Blue Lives

First responders are routinely exposed to critical incidents involving exposure to injury or death in others, as well as the risk of injury or death to themselves. Research shows, and those in the profession intuitively know, that individual incidents and accumulated exposure can adversely affect the mental and physical health of those involved.  This program, “Saving Blue Lives through Training on PTSD, Suicide, Resilience and Peer Support,” is offered at no-cost to those attending through a grant from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority.
