While PTSD often takes center stage in conversations about occupational stress, many first responders and helping professionals face a broader, more complex range of challenges.

This Justice Clearinghouse webinar goes beyond PTSD to examine the deeper neurological and emotional impacts of working in high-stress, trauma-exposed environments.

Participants will explore how trauma affects the brain over time and gain a deeper understanding of often-overlooked conditions like compassion fatigue, moral injury, and burnout. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and real-world experience, this session offers practical tools to recognize symptoms early, understand their root causes, and build meaningful strategies for resilience, healing, and long-term well-being in the workplace.
