- Breaking the stigma of the "salty old school responder" and "suck it up"
- Acute stress reactions and how to seek help
- The drastic effect a listening ear can have on someone in need of help
- An example of the wrong clinician (followed by finding the right one)
- A discussion about EMDR and the tangible benefit to responders
- Treat others like you want to be treated
