Mental Health Monthly: A Year-Round Observance of Suicide Prevention in the Fire Service

Mental Health Monthly: A Year-Round Observance of Suicide Prevention in the Fire Service In this episode of Mental Health Monthly, hosts Dan DeGryse and Chris Muscle confront the tough realities of suicide prevention in the fire service, stressing that awareness can’t be limited to September’s official observance of the struggle. Drawing from personal experiences and hard data, they highlight the urgent need for ongoing education on suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. They challenge departments to embed mental health training starting in the academy and to foster open conversations that dismantle stigma. This means at the station, among peers, and at home. Throughout their candid discussion, they explore protective factors like camaraderie, purpose, and problem-solving that strengthen resilience. This episode calls on fire service leaders and members to normalize mental health talks, prioritize education annually, and support each other proactively.
