EMS professionals are exposed to trauma, critical incidents, and chronic stress at rates higher than nearly any other workforce. Yet, mental health often remains a silent crisis in the industry. This session explores the psychological toll of EMS work—including burnout, PTSD, depression, and maladaptive coping—and how providers can identify warning signs in themselves and colleagues. Drawing from both lived experience as a paramedic and clinical expertise as a counselor, this session bridges practical field realities with evidence-based mental health strategies.
