Firefighter mental health in small bites with Sheena Glover
Description
If you’ve ever known a firefighter who committed suicide, you know how it can change your life.
It may have come as a complete surprise to you. Or maybe you had been worried about the firefighter’s state of mind.
There’s been a lot said and written about what we can do for ourselves to prevent suicide.
But today, we’re going to talk about a program designed to help you intervene in another firefighter’s emotional crisis before it becomes a fatal one.
It's called “Small Bites.” Because that’s how you fix an elephant-size problem…one small bite at a time.
The program was developed by Sheena Glover. She is a captain with the Omaha, Nebraska Fire Department. She’s a 15-year veteran and holds several specialty ratings. Sheena is just the fourth Black female in the history of the department.
