Behind Blue Lines

During my interviews with emergency service personnel who have survived su***de and the partners of those that have not, there is a recurring theme - the belief that to ask for help is to be vulnerable and therefore weak. First responders around the world are taking their own lives because of the fear of appearing weak in the eyes of their colleagues, managers and loved ones.

On World Su***de Prevention Day (10th September) I’m offering a free webinar exclusively to emergency service personnel. I’m a certified facilitator of Dr Brene Brown’s research, and I’ll use it to show that vulnerability is our greatest measure of courage, not weakness. By being part of this webinar, you will:

• Understand why we define vulnerability as risk, uncertainty
and emotional exposure
• Dispel the 6 myths of vulnerability identified by Brene in
her research
• Identify the opinions that count, and those that don't
• Identify behaviours in yourself or others that may indicate
struggle
• Understand and move past the fears and concerns that
hold you back from asking for help

We’re hosting two sessions on the day and it would be great to see you and your colleagues there.

This is likely to be difficult to listen to.

Joining the emergency services without a clear understanding of who we are as individuals and being unable to recognise our self-worth can leave us vulnerable and willing to accept insidious behaviour all in the name of "fitting in".

Thank you G Man Turawa for an honest and open interview and illustrating how different our lives can be when we put ourselves first and let go of what others might think.
