Developing

Resilience:

Building a Firm Foundation

Brenda dietzman

Your job is tough. But you’re tougher. And that
can be a problem.
People who are drawn to this profession and
survive past the first year are strong people. It’s not
uncommon for family, friends, and co­workers to
call you when they need help. You’re the problem­
solver. But tough people tend not to ask for help or
practice self­care, and over time that can become a
problem.
