EP 42 Dealing with PTSD after a major crisis response, with Sara McKeown White
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder is most often associated with combat veterans returning home after a lengthy, risk-filled deployment in battlefield conditions. But PTSD can also affect team members who deploy out to a major crisis incident response. They are often dealing with situations that threaten people and communities, where emotions are running high and responder stress levels are as well.
These conditions can wear us down and create mental health issues - the most serious of which leads to PTSD - that often go unnoticed and untreated. In this episode, we discuss PTSD with a mental health specialist, Sara McKeown White, executive director of the Mental Health Coalition of Teton Valley. We discuss the signs of PTSD and what team leaders and companies can do to help prevent it from developing in their teams during and after a major incident response.
