Dear Richard,

Mental Health of Emergency Managers!

   We just returned from the IAEM conference in Savannah. It was a great event and joyous to reconnect with so many friends and colleagues!

  At the conference, we were pleased to release initial data from our JEM Stressors and Mental Health Survey. The data was well received and shed critical light on why emergency managers are leaving the field at an accelerating rate. Untreated and under-treated secondary traumatic stress directly predicts the likelihood of an EM's departure from the field. This single validated fact can be immediately addressed in organizations across the globe!

The survey dataset contains much more startling information, and we will be rolling out a series of webinars and a paper in the coming months! Join us as a subscriber as we work to care for those who care for us.
