When A Child Dies
When a Child Dies on a Call is a 20-minute program filmed by Firefighter Support Foundation. This program addresses the following areas: How is the death of a child so different?, What happens to first responders when a child dies on a call?, Why do different responders react differently to the death of a child?, What happens when a first responder identifies with the victim, someone else on the scene or even the perpetrator? What are the painful ways to respond to a child’s death? What are some helpful things to do? Is there something wrong with not feeling affected? Can we prepare for such a call? How long do the effects last? and more.
