We are launching season 2 of our Making Health dooable® Podcast, paying homage to our heroes. First responders are the backbone of our communities, selflessly putting themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe. However, the daily exposure to trauma and stress takes a significant toll on their physical and mental well-being. In a recent episode of the Making Health dooable® podcast, Chief Mike Yaniero, Public Safety Director for the City of Jacksonville, sheds light on the unique challenges faced by these everyday heroes. With over 50 years of experience in law enforcement, Chief Yaniero provides invaluable insights into the critical need for comprehensive support systems for first responders.
The statistics are staggering: first responders experience up to 800 critical incidents throughout their careers, far exceeding the average person’s exposure to trauma. This constant stress can manifest in physical ailments, mental health struggles, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Chief Yaniero emphasizes prioritizing physical fitness and mental health practices to combat these challenges. By combining healthy lifestyle choices with resources like peer support systems and critical incident stress management, first responders can build resilience and improve their overall quality of life.
dooable health® is proud to partner with first responders, offering personalized health coaching and resources designed to address their specific needs. Chief Yaniero highlights the value of such programs in empowering individuals to manage stress, make healthier choices, and cultivate long-term well-being. Through education, support, and accountability, dooable health® provides the tools necessary for first responders to thrive both personally and professionally.
