註釋Our first responders are uniquely strong, brave, and emotionally flexible. They support us on the worst days of our lives. They see and hear things that are burned into their memories forever. They see the worst in humanity and then do their best to be a loving partner, parent, and friend. On the other hand, they are uniquely vulnerable. The risk of suicide among police officers is 54 percent greater than among American workers in general.HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHTMuch of what first responders see and do happens outside of our collective awareness. They experience a level of trauma that most of us can't imagine. In a sample of more than 700 police officers from three major police departments, over half have been threatened with a lethal weapon and nearly all (87%) have seen someone dying (87.2%).First responders are resigning in droves. And they're dying in record numbers. More officers die by suicide each year than are killed in the line of duty, by all causes. We are losing good men and women, whose collective trauma, never addressed in an effective way, becomes too heavy a burden to carry. The impact of this trauma deserves to be recognized and addressed. Best-selling author Dr. Shauna Springer and decorated Sergeant Michael Sugrue tell this story in RELENTLESS COURAGE. Sugrue bares his soul to help save his fellow brothers and sisters in the first responder community, and openly shares the mindsets, private struggles, losses, and personal betrayals that led him to become suicidal at one time. He shares how he healed and what kinds of programs and resources were most helpful in bringing him out of his darkest valley. Each chapter includes a wealth of original, game-changing insights on trauma from nationally renowned psychologist, Dr. Shauna Springer, one of the world's leading experts in psychological trauma and healing. Together, Sugrue and Springer tell the story that has been hidden in plain sight and provide perspective, truth and wisdom to help mend the divide between first responders and those they serve, and to help us all heal from our own traumas.
