Online Resources for Trauma Survivors

First Responders 

First Responders are the heroic individuals who are called to the scene of an accident or emergency to provide help and relief. Typically this includes firemen, police officers, and EMT. First responders will normally assess trauma scene conditions and hazardous materials emergencies, provide initial protection from blood borne pathogens and other biohazards, conduct a primary patient assessment, and transport. 

Suicide is a doubly tragic event both in the loss and the devastation of family and community. It seems especially unfair that in the aftermath of suicide it is often the family that is left to handle suicide scene cleanup. Fortunately there are numerous resources for friends and family to help in coping with suicide. 

Funeral Management Professionals
