This risk can be offset if first responders are knowledgeable about stress management, signs of stress, and when it is necessary to seek help. Resources and tools are available in this issue of the DTAC Bulletin to help support first responder behavioral health and resilience. Websites, online courses, and many other kinds of resources have been included https://store.samhsa.gov/product/guide-managing-stress-disaster-responders-and-first-responders/pep22-01-01-003?utm_source=SAMHSA&utm_campaign=46ffe3b7c0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_06_03_41&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-46ffe3b7c0-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D&utm_source=SAMHSA&utm_campaign=434a12219e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_15_01_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-434a12219e-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
