Did you hear firefighters Tommy and Angelo on BBC Newcastle a few minutes ago? They were talking to @LisaShawRadio about the impact of mental health issues on firefighters - both in terms of the incidents they attend & how they cope with dealing with those incidents. (1/2)

An exciting day today as the journey starts for our own delegates to hopefully become part our own Trauma Support Team within TWFRS! #trust #traumasupport @Tyne_Wear_FRS

We completely agree - looking after each other is so important - peer support is such a valuable asset to have within the emergency services sector, but also within any organisation!

[Susan Dungworth - Northumbria PCC @NorthumbriaOPCC]

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay - an opportunity to raise awareness and break the stigmas. @mind says that emergency service staff are at a greater risk of experiencing mental health problems, but are less likely to seek help. Look after yourselves and look out for each other.

Whoever you are, and especially if you are doing difficult emotional work, be sure to schedule pleasure and positive activities into your days and weeks.

Caring for our own personal wellbeing as if it were a private affair is not enough. We need shift in consciousness from ‘me to we’ with more focus on collective wellbeing, compassion & social justice https://t.co/B7Mhbsm5a3 @McMindfulness @openDemocracy

Do not turn your avoidant behaviors into yet another thing to shame and criticize yourself for. Look into the roots of your avoidance. Be curious about where it came from, extend validation, and withhold judgment.
