With jobs as intense as first responders have, some can experience thoughts of self-harm.
ALBANY, Ga. - That’s why the president of the Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs is now promoting a video aimed at preventing the loss of life for those that protect us on a daily basis.
“Thank you for having me. First of all, there’s PTSD, which is commonly heard throughout all of our society, but it seems to be on the grow in public safety as a whole, whether that’s fire, police, EMS or 911,” President of the Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs, David Eddins said. “And ultimately, the worse side effect of PTSD is suicide. And we are seeing that the numbers aren’t accurate because it’s not being reported as that with public safety.
Chief David Eddins, the president of the Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs, thank you very much for what you’re doing, trying to help first responders. “We just asked if anybody watches that video, just share it. You never know who’s going to see it and who it’ll help,” Eddins said.
