As a first responder, firefighter paramedic Jim Burneka encounters traumatic events the average person will likely never experience, but to him, it's just another day-it's Tuesday.
In spite of being the wellness coordinator for the local fire department, Jim falls victim to Tuesday, the trauma he encounters daily, and finds himself spiraling down a dark and hopeless path including post-tramatic stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Finally, Jim must make the choice between succumbing to Tuesday or asking for the help he so desperately needs. Hawkins and Burneka recount a story of healing and resilience to empower others to seek help, and to encourage them to replace despair with hope. This book shares a variety of valuable resources that are available to help those struggling with mental or physical struggles. The fight for wellness among first responders shouldn't be a silent battle fought alone, but together; we can overcome Tuesday.
