The Wisconsin State Fire Chiefs Association has created a task force to help firefighters who are struggling with mental health issues. The association’s president Jon Cohn said they hope the task force will provide a statewide network of support to firefighters who are struggling with mental health issues. "What we’ve really tried to do at the really early stages is just let people know this is a problem. They’re not alone. Everyone struggles," said Cohn. "When the struggle becomes too much, that’s when we offer for them to reach out to us." Cohn said firefighters may avoid reaching out because of the stigma surrounding mental illness or fears of losing their jobs.
