Description

Aftermath is the story of one firefighter and how the aftermath of a tragic accident triggers his PTS and profoundly affects his life, as well as his family and colleagues. Both firefighters and police officers are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. Up to 44% of first responders, including dispatchers and EMT's, suffer from PTS. Despite these statistics, PTS remains untreated in many cases due to stigma and a "superhero" philosophy, as well as lack of knowledge about and opportunities to get help. NHTP's Elephant-in-the-Room Series® seeks to illuminate and discuss issues like PTS through community conversations, and help connect the public with available resources. Admission is free, but reservations are suggested.
