The Psychological Benefits of Social Good

 When things get tough good people get tougher! Life can be dicey and when bad things happen we have to sort of learn to deal with it. Firefighters, military, police, EMT, victims and others deal with situations that are not always ideal. Sometimes people have to continue to put themselves in harms way in order to help others for Social Good.

There is a Silver Lining in it when its "not all in vain". Meaning, when we do good, even when it's risky, we can better create resilience in such dangerous work. We are contributors!

Firefighters can be especially prone to traumatic injuries but the vast majority continue to show up despite many doing so voluntary with no pay. The "greater social good" is a compelling motivator for first responders as well as attracting new ones.
