Support for the families behind public safety work

First Responder Families focuses on how the pressures and traumatic experiences associated with public safety professions can affect responders’ relatives, whose needs may receive less attention. Tania Glenn brings together a clinician’s perspective and her experience as a loved one of a public safety professional. The book is intended to help families understand what turbulent periods may involve and offers tools for addressing stress and trauma. Its subject sits at the intersection of family support, occupational stress, and grief and loss.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families and loved ones of first responders seeking guidance on stress and trauma.
  • Readers interested in the effects of public safety work on family life.

Book overview

Stress and trauma are inherent in the public safety professions. When first responders are impacted by the negativity they encounter, their family members are often impacted as well. Yet somehow, the needs of families are often discounted or overlooked completely. "First Responder Families: Caring for the Hidden Heroes" was written to help families understand what to expect during turbulent times and to give them tools to mitigate stress and trauma. In this book, Dr. Tania Glenn writes not only as a clinician with over twenty-eight years of experience working with first responders, she also writes as a loved one of a public safety professional. Tying together the clinical knowledge and insight to create this book has been one of the most inspiring things she has done.
