Understanding Military & First Responder Trauma

Unlike single-event trauma, service-based trauma is often cumulative. It may involve repeated exposure to high-stress events, violence, death, or personal injury. Over time, this can lead to PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relational struggles.

Common Stressors Include:

Combat or war zone deployment
Responding to violent crimes, fires, or mass casualty events
Exposure to death, suffering, or moral injury
Organizational burnout and isolation
