Helping Those Who Keep Us Safe—Web Chat with Michael Bizzarro, PhD
March 26, 2015
When trouble comes, first responders are the first ones on the scene to offer help. Unfortunately, they tend to be the last ones to seek help for themselves.
First responders—police and corrections officers, firefighters and EMTs, military personnel—often face danger or witness human tragedy on a daily basis. The toll it takes is evidenced by high rates of substance abuse, depression, and suicide.
Yet help is available.
Join Michael Bizzarro, PhD, LCSW, BCD, Director of Clinical Services for First Responders at Princeton House Behavioral Health, for a live web chat on Monday, March 30, at 12 p.m.
Dr. Bizzarro will discuss how to recognize the warning signs, where to call for help and how to clear the barriers that often prevent first responders from getting the treatment they need.
