Fire and EMS professionals are exposed to potentially traumatic calls on nearly every shift. Nationwide, firefighters overwhelmingly report job-related stress has affected their mental health—yet more than 80% of firefighters say they fear being seen as weak or unfit for duty if they ask for help for emotional or behavioral issues. Left unaddressed, stress can lead to self-destructive behaviors and leave firefighters unprepared to take care of community members.
Lexipol’s Cordico app addresses these challenges, providing firefighters and EMS professionals with on-demand access to confidential, relevant and effective wellness resources, including:
