Most search and rescue, by definition is traumatic for the survivor, and potentially the rescuer as well.  This talk intends to discuss some of the signs of impact on individuals and SAR teams and potential ways to address them whether it be; Psychological First Aid, Self--Care, Peer Support, After Action Review and others. Many organizations have procedures and programs in place and the more we recognize the need, reduce stigmatization, create psychological safety and open up a dialogue with each othe, the better equipped we will be for the difficult missions ahead.
