Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Who checks on the people who check on everyone else Most of us don't break on one call. We bend, a little at a time, over years. Fire Captain Jeffrey S. Gardner has watched it happen to the people he serves with, and he has lived it himself: a divorce, the loss of both parents, his brother, and two best friends, all in the same year.After the Call is a short, plain-spoken field guide for firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, and the families who love them. It's the talk you'd get from a senior captain at the kitchen table: honest, practical, and pointed toward real help when you need it.Inside you'll learn: - How to spot when someone on your crew is drifting off their normal- The kitchen-table conversation, and the one question you have to ask- How to ask for help without losing your place on the crew- A 15-minute crew decompression for after the bad call- What officers can do to build a crew where it's safe to say something- How families can recognize the signs and support their responder- Exactly what to do if someone is in crisis tonightPlus a fill-in resource page and a pocket checklist you can copy, laminate, and keep on the rig.This is peer support, not therapy, written by a firefighter for firefighters. Read it once, keep it in the officer's desk, and hand it to the new guy.A portion of the proceeds supports mental health resources for first responders. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.From the author of Who Saves Us : A Fire Captain's Memoir of Loss and Resilience, The Shift Kids and more.…
