“Chaplain Calvert’s In For the Long Haul is a must-have for our men and women on the front lines, their families and friends, and anyone who deals with trauma on a regular basis.
This program highlights critical aspects of surviving and thriving in the face of professional and personal challenges associated with the firefighter and paramedic careers. It sheds light not only on the many stresses and why they occur, but also how to handle the strain, care for oneself and others, and ultimately not become a casualty.
