" Always Care For Yourself First "

Hi I'm Jim; I just have a short but to the point of doing the job you love to do. To me it wasn't just a job it was something I always dreamed as any other kid and did. I was a Firefighter, EMS Provider; Also a First -Aid CPR Instructor for the Red Cross and The American Heart Ass. I had done this for seventeen out of twenty one years. Started out as just a firefighter and worked my way from there. The thing is from there I didn't care for myself as I should have and just made twenty six hours o… Continue

James,

Thanks for the message. I didnt get your e-mail thou. Hope you are doing well. I have been working for the last 48 hours. Then I am off for 3 days. Tomorrow I am flying down to Palm Springs to help give a presentation to some Southern Calfornia Chiefs about PTSD and how West Coast Post Truma Retreat was started. Looking forward to it. Take care and hope you are doing well. Janice

James,

I saw that you started a group about PTSD. I also had job related PTSD and got help thru West Coast Post Trauma Retreat. (www.wcpr2001.org) Because I was helped so much thru WCPR and there doesnt seem to be much help for firefighters with PTSD, I decided to do what I can to help spread the word the firefighters do get PTSD. I also help at the WCPR retreats. Also, in June of this year I am climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money for WCPR. (www.climb4first.org) Good luck with your PTSD and if you need anything let me know.
