Coping with the Stress of First Responder Life
“Mindfulness for Warriors is a work of major importance that offers practical approaches to self-care and serenity for our first responders…” — Louise Harmon , author of Happiness from A to Z
#1 New Release in Military Families
A traumatic way of life. First responders have the incredibly difficult job of running toward danger while the rest of us run away. No training prepares them for what they see and endure. Kim Colegrove understands what it’s like to watch someone go through that. After 30 years in law enforcement, her husband took his own life. This agonizing experience opened Kim’s eyes to the desperate need for an effective form of stress-relief and support for first responders.
The power of meditation. Taking care of our mental health is a priority. For first responders, like cops and EMTs facing trauma, ensuring that their heads are in a healthy place is crucial. Kim is here to propose meditation as a resource for first responders.
A source of hope. In 2017, Kim founded The Pause First Project, Mindfulness for First Responders. Kim offers the Pause First block of training to organizations across the country; teaching techniques that help reduce stress, regulate emotion, and improve overall health and well-being. Her work to bring awareness is a tribute to both her husband and the countless other first responders struggling with the realities of their jobs.
In Mindfulness for Warriors find:
- Evidence-based practices to help first responders and families deal with stress
- Interviews with first responders who share stories of overcoming, surviving, and thriving
- Colegrove’s own raw and intimate story of her husband’s troubles and how she continues each day fighting in his memory
If you’ve looked for encouragement from books like Bulletproof Spirit, Bullets in the Washing Machine, or I Love a Cop (Third Edition); you will find a further source of healing in Mindfulness for Warriors.
