None of us can deny that our partners can make or break our job experience. Having effective crews that not only function well together professionally but also personally is beyond important.

Do crackheads say "I can't get high today because I'm broke"? No, they make it happen. Don't let a crackhead hustle harder than you.

Adopt the crackhead mentality: "I don't care what it takes, I'm getting after this shit."

The discussion around mental health in EMS often focuses on the direct effects of trauma from the job. But what about other forms of trauma that impact those working in emergency services? How do you prioritize different stages of healing in your life? Where do you start?

The hours we work in public service take a toll on our minds and bodies. Even just to make ends meet, most of us have to work at least 2 to 3 jobs as a norm. What if you made the opportunity to do something else?

As a society and as a profession, we have been inundated with complacency and shortcuts. And with that, we have embraced a pessimistic determinism that is simply furthering a negative narrative about the future of EMS.
