Shatterproof at FHE
The stigma of mental illness, however, often prevents first responders from seeking that help. By failing to seek help, many first responders will experience a worsening of their symptoms that affects their quality of life and can reduce their work performance. Others may seek unhealthy ways of coping, such as self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, which only deepens the problem. The Shatterproof FHE Health program for first responders seeks to dissolve mental health stigma and help those who are on the scene first to help us in emergencies.
