Description: BACKGROUND
Resiliency for first responders is the ability to withstand, recover and or grow in the face of stressors and changing demands. Resiliency programs support the first responder with education, training, group support
and family support. Family support includes education, social connections and when necessary working groups. Resiliency training has been embraced by the Department of Defense, with extensive programs in the United States Army and the United States Air Force. Resiliency programs have been standard with the United States Special Operations community for some time and every Special Operations unit has an embedded resilience professional. Resiliency programs are also in use with major civilian organizations throughout the United States, such as first responders, corporate organizations and the State of Florida with its community resilience programs. The core of resiliency is to develop mental toughness behaviors to enable each individual to achieve and sustain their personal best, foster an environment of trust of the EMS employees, their colleagues and their leadership and optimize their performance in environments of uncertainty and persistent danger.
