Mindfulness For Warriors: Empowering First Responders to Reduce Stress and Build Resilience (Book for Doctors, Police, Nurses, Firefighters, Paramedics, Military, and Others)

This book is written for first responders and their families, because first responders run toward danger while the rest of us run away, and that takes a toll.

• There are over 18,000 Police Agencies in the U.S. • Over 900,000 sworn officers • There are over 27,000 Fire Departments in the U.S. • Over 1,000,000 Firefighters • There are over 21,000 EMS agencies in the U.S. • Over 250,000 EMTs and Paramedics • There are over 6,000 correctional facilities in the U.S. • Over 400,000 Correctional Officers and Jailers • There are over 95,000 Dispatchers nationwide. • There are over 600,000 Social Workers nationwide. • All of these first responders have friends and families who love them and care about their well-being.

First responder stress has reached critical mass. First responders are very well trained, but their training does not prepare them for the mental and emotional impact of the job.

• In 2017, more police officers died of suicide than line-of-duty deaths, and suicide rates continue to climb. • Chronic Stress, Trauma, Secondary Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and Suicide are prevalent in all first responder professions. • Alcoholism and addiction are common in the first responder culture.

There is a massive audience of first responders and their loved ones, who are searching for relief from this highly stressful and traumatic way of living. This book provides valuable information and insight, and presents leading-edge, evidence-based practices to help first responders and their families cope with the stress and trauma of first responder life.
