S3 E18 Better Call Paul—Supporting Responders in Crisis with Guest Paul Jockimo

Join us on the next episode of Responder Resilience as we talk with Paul Jockimo, a veteran of 35 years in the fire service and Coordinator of the Westchester-Putnam Peer Support Team and President, CISM Network of New York State. We'll discuss how to support our fellow responders who may be struggling with issues like health, family, depression, or self-harm. We'll also explore taking action when one of our own is having difficulties, and the benefits of Critical Incident Stress Management. 

Formerly with the New York City Fire Department, Paul currently serves with the Westchester County (NY) Department of Emergency Services and served as the Chief of the Somers (NY) Fire District. With 28 years of CISM, Peer Support and Line of Duty Death experience, he has had the honor of working with scores of agencies throughout North America. The subject of Bernard Wolf’s ground breaking 1974 book “Don’t Feel Sorry for Paul”, he brings his unique life experience and humor to all he does. He has been profiled in the books “American Firefighter” by Paul Mobley (2017) and “Duty, Honor, . . . Hope: Strategies for Understanding and Unpacking First Responder Grief” by Beth Hewett (2023).
