HOW TO USE THIS PLAN

Being a resilient responder starts with a commitment to taking care of yourself. This can be increasingly difficult during a pandemic, where responders experience additional stressors related to home and personal circumstances as well as those brought on by challenging mission demands. There are important steps you can take to keep yourself healthy and fit for duty as you take care of others. Complete this self-care plan before each mission/event and keep it with you so that you are ready to apply coping strategies when things get tough.
