<p>To all fellow ems personnel:</p><p>I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to support DeAnna Johnson in her quest to bring the CISM program back to our work place.</p><p>CISM is Critical Incident Stress Management and this program is designed to help a certain type of profession in the EMS field. In the EMS world there are many things we see in our line of work that the everyday person does not see or understand. We can not talk to just anyone about what we see and deal with on a daily basis. DeAnna has made it her passion to help her EMS family by helping them with their personal mental health post stressful calls.</p><p>As someone that has been on bad calls of different types, there will be a call that you can't get over and you just need to talk to someone who understands and has been there on similar bad calls. I recently had a call like that and I could not get the call out of my head and I needed to talk with someone. The resources that were provided were not what I was looking for, but I knew that DeAnna was out there and was willing to speak with me about it. She took her personal time to speak with me and made it very easy to talk about my bad call and came up with ways to help. DeAnna also followed up with me over the next few weeks to make sure I was still ok.</p><p>I know that everyone is not the same but having someone who can relate makes the process easier. I'm married with 3 young children and I don't want to bring my job home with me and effect my family's life as well. I know my family loves me and they know that daddy helps people everyday but they won't and can't know that daddy sees horrible things that he can't help or fix. And with DeAnna's help I was able to return to my family feeling better and able to return to my normal life.</p><p>So by adding your name to the petition you would be supporting the CISM program and supporting DeAnna in her passion to help her EMS family with their personal and mental health post stressful calls.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for your support in making our EMS family better and healthier...</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Sign with your name and employes number.</p>
