Do you support a paramedic experiencing mental ill-health?

Do you support a paramedic experiencing mental ill-health?

What are your experiences of supporting a paramedic experiencing mental ill-health (e.g., trauma, depression, anxiety)?

We would love to hear from anyone who has experience of this.

Thank you all ❤️

Re: Do you support a paramedic experiencing mental ill-health?

Very interesting @hanami . 

 

I personally do not support a paramedic experiencing MH, however, I do speak to two police officers who do have their own challenges....

 

I'm also interested to hear what other's have to say.

Re: Do you support a paramedic experiencing mental ill-health?

That's a really interesting question @hanami. A relative of mine is a paramedic and whilst they say `it comes with the job' I do wonder how much of the job does affect them. I take my hat off to paramedics and all those who work in the emergency field. They are special type of people for sure!

Loving this ❤️ @hanami 

 

I don't support a paramedic with MH but I do support a nurse. My friend is a full time working nurse at the hospital near us and she often needs support regarding what she sees and various other traumas that she is exposed to (especially after covid). 

 

Very interesting topic and looking forward to reading others answers,
