Many professionals in the public safety field have calls that have a negative impact on them, but they try to keep in their emotions because they do not want to look weak. It is important to not view seeking help as a sign of weakness but as a sign of strength. Interviewers want to see that you are not afraid to acknowledge a problem and ask for help.

"If I was troubled by a specific call, I would talk to my partner about it. If talking to my partner did not help, I would use the Employee Assistance Program and talk to a professional about how I was feeling. I think it is important to use someone who is trained to help in situations like this."
