## Resource

EMS providers are trained to survive chaos, but few are taught how to recover from years of chronic stress, trauma exposure, sleep deprivation, and emotional suppression. This episode dives into the biological and psychological toll of EMS culture, the impact on relationships and identity, and how providers, families, and agencies can begin changing the conversation around mental health in EMS.
