What first responder families often notice after a bad call<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ module_class=”na-prose” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Most responders do not come home and announce that something went wrong. Instead, first responder families usually see it in behavior. For example, they may be quieter than usual, short-tempered over small things, or glued to a screen. Sleep may be off for a few nights. Appetite may change. Some people need to be busy, while others need to be left alone.<\/p>

Most of these reactions are normal, and most fade within days or a few weeks. However, if they last longer than a month, get worse, or include talk of hopelessness or heavy drinking, it is time to reach out. You do not have to wait for your responder to agree.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ module_class=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]
