A first responder is a person with specialized training who is among the first to arrive and provide assistance or incident resolution at the scene of an emergency. First responders typically include law enforcement officers (commonly known as police officers), paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and firefighters. In some jurisdictions, emergency department personnel, such as doctors and nurses, are also required to respond to disasters and critical situations, designating them first responders; in other jurisdictions, military and security forces may also be authorized to act as first responders.

UNIFYING INJURY PREVENTION STANDARDS IN BLAST INJURIES The US Army Medical Research and Development Command is in the process of overseeing the reevaluation of military standards for protecting servicemembers from auditory and blast injury. Warfighters encounter blast overpressure not only from combat environments but also from training environments. Over the years, it was found that blast injuries can affect all parts of the body, especially unprotected ears. Tinnitus and hearing loss are the most prevalent and affect 1.3 million veterans receiving disability compensation in 20202. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates the cost to be over $1 billion yearly. Each branch had different auditory standards in the past, making it challenging to conduct safe joint exercises. Medical Research and Development Command is helping to solve this problem by unifying multiple stakeholders from the military, industry, academia, and medicine within the Blast Injury Prevention Standards Recommendation process. These efforts are significant to protecting warfighters and another way military medicine supports the health and wellbeing of the entire force. #blastinjury #injuryprevention #hearingloss #militarymedicine Defense Health Agency https://lnkd.in/gfpS9Evm

Through the first 10 years of being a military spouse, I have learned many lessons. I think it is fair to say that at each base, there has been a major lesson learned. We spent three years living in Las Vegas at Nellis Air Force base. There was a lot happening through this assignment. It was our first official base after my spouse completed medical school, both of our children were born there, and it was where I had my first nursing jobs. The biggest life lesson in Las Vegas was compassion. Working as a hospice nurse for a company that also provided palliative care to children gave me a new understanding of compassion. Compassion is not just a feeling, it's an action. Learning to understand and empathize with others is the first step towards becoming a more compassionate person. Let's take the time to listen to those around us, offer support to those in need, and spread kindness wherever we go. Together, we can make the world a more compassionate and understanding place. What can you do today to show your compassion? #LifeCoach #MindSetCoach ##LifeLessons #PersonalDevelopment #selfemprovement #milspouse #militaryspouse

Retired battalion chief and freelance writer. Author of "Successful Transformational Change in a Fire & EMS Department: How a Focused Team Created a Revenue Recovery Program in Six Months--From Scratch"
Check out this short read, and I believe why the Mission Statement for the Fire Service Psychology Association- Admin is "Develop the scientific study and application of professional psychology to meet the needs of the fire service." How can we expect to develop effective and efficient behavioral health programs for firefighters and officers if we don't have the data to make informed data-driven decisions when building those programs? A quick excerpt from the article: A disparity in medical research It’s concerning to note the significant gap in medical research concerning firefighters’ health. In 2021, a study highlighted that firefighters remain one of the least researched high-risk groups. There was a 30 to 1 ratio in medical journal articles about veterans compared to firefighters. Dr. Chris Frueh emphasized the disparity, stating: “It means we know almost nothing about the types of injuries and health problems that firefighters develop over the course of a career.” Fire & EMS Leader Pro Fire Service Psychology Association Atlanta Fire Rescue Department Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation, Inc. Firefighters First Credit Union Sara Jahnke
Firefighters are not in the military and are not police. The fire service is a unique disapline. It is not a difference in degree it is a difference in kind. We are a domain that needs to be studied with tools designed for us and the fire culture.

Excited to share the recent article: Operator Syndrome: Nursing care and consideration for military Special Operators by Rebecca Ann Ivory. Paper based on Dr. Chris Frueh work on Operator Syndrome. This is awesome!!! Everyone can take something truly important from this paper and all the research. "Operator syndrome is a common and predictable constellation of interrelated medical and psychiatric conditions and social and functional impairments experienced by special operations forces. Nurses in all settings should be aware of this emerging trend among veterans they encounter in practice so they may identify and intervene using evidence-based approaches and effect a positive outcome." https://lnkd.in/emGxeMYz #nursuing #operatorsyndrome #veterans #militarylife #mentalhealth

Supporting Veterans Through Golf | Champion of Accessibility, Mental Health & Inclusion | Caddie Trainer & PGA Coach | Family Man & Advocate for Veteran Well-being | Founder & CEO Warrior Golf Academy
Transitioning military personnel and law enforcement officers (LEOs) face a myriad of challenges as they navigate civilian life, but one of the most significant issues is often the transition from a structured, disciplined environment to the unpredictability of the civilian workforce. This shift can lead to feelings of isolation, difficulty finding employment that matches their skills and experience, and a sense of purposelessness without the clear goals and missions they had in uniform. According to a study by the RAND Corporation, nearly half of veterans report having difficulty finding meaningful work after leaving the military, and many struggle with mental health issues such as PTSD and depression due to the lack of structure and community they once had [RAND Corporation Study]. Similarly, LEOs transitioning to civilian life also face unique challenges, including the stigma associated with their profession, difficulties adjusting to a less regulated environment, and the need to find roles that allow them to leverage their training and experience effectively. To address these challenges, it's crucial for both transitioning service members and LEOs to seek out resources and networks designed to assist in their transition. Organizations like Hire Heroes USA and the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund offer career counseling, job placement services, and networking opportunities specifically tailored to these populations. Additionally, engaging with local communities and volunteering can help bridge the gap between military/LEO life and civilian society, providing a sense of belonging and purpose. In my experience working with transitioning service members and LEOs, I've seen firsthand how critical it is to foster a supportive network and access to resources that recognize and value the unique skills and experiences these individuals bring to the civilian workforce. By doing so, we can ensure a smoother transition and help these heroes continue to serve and contribute to our communities in new ways. #Veterans #LawEnforcement #CivilianLife #TransitionSupport #HireHeroesUSA #LELegalDefenseFund #LifeAfterService #Veteran
