People called to these noble professions experience a great deal of trauma, but may find it difficult to reach out for help. There is a misconception that asking for help is seen as being "weak" when in fact it reflects courage. What we see in the line of duty is not normal, cannot be un-seen, and affects everyone differently. This may result in sleep disturbance, anxiety, or depression, which can impact your quality of life both on and off duty. "
