Behavioral Health Seminar by Firefighter Beau Porter

"Treading Water" A Behavioral Health Seminar presented by Local 112 member and Los Angeles Firefighter/Paramedic, Beau Porter.
Beau began to recognize how the demands of the firefighting profession began to affect his own mental health which his family also recognized. In response, he researched and studied the stresses put on firefighters on a daily basis that are largely unrecognized. Beau then created a presentation about these stresses, how to recognize them, and how to maintain a sound mental state even during the horrific scenes that firefighters encounter daily.
