Join host Susan Ney and her guest Steve Serbic as they talk about the culture of Fire Services departments and the fact that although surveys conducted have found that 95% of firefighters feel critical incident stress and 65% are traumatized by calls, over 80% of firefighters don’t feel they can talk to a peer/seek help about how they are feeling due to concern that they might be perceived as weak or unfit for duty. The suicide rate for this profession is high. Steve is making it his business to bring voice to this reality and concern. His book The Unbroken: A Firefighter’s Memoir will be available in bookstores soon. Steve will share his personal story and the work he is doing to change the culture in Fire and Protective Services departments across North America.
