Warning Signs of Suicide In Firefighters

Mental health is important to our American society and inparticular promoting suicide awareness amongst firefighters.  This story is personal to me because I lost a fellow firefighter from suicide.  Firefighter Behavior Health Alliance was created to help firefighters deal will stress, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, addiction, suicides, and anxiety.  You can view this non-profit organization on Facebook.  Click on the bottom link to view the article on how fire department chiefs can prevent suicides.
