Summary
Lubbock’s first responders are revolutionizing mental health support, with police and fire departments actively promoting wellness programs that normalize asking for help. Dr. Andy Young highlights how emergency workers, wired to serve others, must prioritize their own well-being—or risk burnout. Blake Ball, a veteran firefighter, notes a cultural shift toward openness since wellness initiatives began six years ago, with leadership now encouraging vulnerability. Access is simple: just a phone call away, offering flexible counseling options. The message? You don’t have to carry the weight alone—support is here to help you stay strong for the job—and for life.
