According to the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance, more firefighters die from suicide each year than in the line of duty. If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 or chat 988Lifeline.org. 988 connects you with a trained crisis counselor.

Today is National PTSD Awareness Day and we at Bryx want to express the importance of mental health. PTSD can be caused by experiencing or witnessing trauma. It's okay to reach out for help if you are experiencing a mental health crisis and it's important to educate yourself!

Happy EMS week to our EMS colleagues!
Adam J. Bello@CountyExecBello16 May 2022
Monroe County EMS workers save countless lives every day and went above and beyond to keep people safe throughout the pandemic. They deserve praise and recognition for all they do. Today, I signed a proclamation in honor of #NationalEMSWeek.

As a first responder you can't continue to respond to violent and traumatic calls and not think they won't effect you or your mind set. Listen for ways to take care of yourself and if you are struggling reach out to peer support for help.
