Abstract

First responders and veterans are exposed to stress and trauma at rates higher than the general public. This exposure highlights the need for counsellors to understand how these issues impact male-identifying first responders and veterans. This chapter will focus on supporting readers in developing an understanding of how the enhanced exposure to stress and trauma that is common in these roles can impact these men in their ability to seek mental health support. The categories explored throughout this chapter include exploring the role of first responders and veterans and commonly used coping strategies among these populations. Additionally, a review of how stigma and traditional views of masculinity have influenced and impacted these men will be examined. An overview of treatment implications, including a discussion on best practices pertaining to resilience-oriented care, will be included. Finally, this chapter will conclude with an overview of culturally responsive care and how it can be implemented in a treatment setting.
