As a spouse of a dedicated public safety professional, I found ‘Keeping it all Together’ to be an incredibly insightful and timely read. The book addresses a crucial yet often overlooked aspect – the well-being of the family members who stand by their loved ones in this emotionally taxing profession.

The authors have done an exceptional job of weaving together personal stories with rigorous research, creating a comprehensive guide that is both engaging and informative. They present an evidence-based model for building resilience that encompasses all aspects of one’s life physical, psychological, cognitive, emotional, financial, spiritual, social, and professional.

One of the key takeaways for me was understanding the importance of addressing not just the self-care needs of public safety professionals, but also those of their loved ones. The book highlights the significant role that family members play in supporting these first responders and emphasizes the need to care for them as well.

I particularly appreciated the practical tips and strategies provided throughout the book. These tools have helped me navigate the unique challenges we face as a family, fostering a sense of resilience that I believe is essential in maintaining our overall well-being.

What sets ‘Keeping it all Together’ apart from other self-help books is its focus on the whole family unit. This book is not just about surviving adversity; it’s about thriving together. It offers a roadmap for building a stronger, more resilient home life while also supporting our public safety professionals in their mission to serve their communities.
