The world is a fascinating place. We work in all the places and spaces humans create. The aviation environment is one of those places. In this fascinating world, there are, unfortunately, traumatic events that we are involved in. This can be a traumatic event you respond to, one you witness, one that is shared with your, or one that happens to you. In any of these situations, these events and your experiences impact your mental health and well-being, which can affect your professional and personal lives. Airports are industrial environments. As such, human vulnerability, equipment hazards, and the unpredictable nature of interactions within this environment can lead to incidents and accidents that are devastating. The intersection of human behavior and machine operation introduces unpredictability. A momentary lapse in attention, a misstep near heavy machinery, or incorrect directions in a dynamic arena that an airport can present can lead to severe injuries and loss of life. Aviation workers at all levels must be prepared mentally in advance of a situation that may have a traumatic and long-term adverse effect on them and others. Building capacity for psychological resilience and understanding the processes of successfully adapting in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress that may occur in your work or personally is critical to first responder physical and mental health.
