Celebrating Women’s History Month
This episode focuses on women’s mental health in the fire service. The job is hard enough with what you do and the psychological strain you encounter. Add to that external factors like home life, sleep deprivation, or in some cases, discrimination. Listen to the conversation between Station 2 physician Dr. Marcie Hamrick and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Beth Murphy, a former fire fighter herself.
