Standing Strong: A Workbook for Veterans and First Responders Navigating the Stress of Service

As a military or first responder community member, you have received specialized training to operate in extreme environments. You have the skills to do challenging tasks under high-stress conditions for extended periods of time. You have been trained to move toward danger when the natural human instinct is to retreat. These experiences, even if they seem manageable at the time, can eventually take a toll. Have you noticed that you aren’t quite the same person you used to be when you first began your career? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, your memory and concentration have suffered, or you are unable to control your emotions in the manner you are accustomed to. If you have picked up this book, it’s a sign that you recognize you’re not at your best and are prepared to do something about it. This book is for you.
