This Line of Work Chooses You
This line of work chooses you, you don’t choose it. For Memphis Allies and partner organizations, the work to reduce gun violence isn’t just a job; it isn’t just clocking in 9 to 5, it’s a 24/7 commitment.
Self-Care Isn’t Selfish
The danger of being on the front lines is never just immediate. Sometimes, it’s the collateral damage that hits home.
This is true for combat veterans – many of whom suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), for law enforcement, for firefighters and correctional workers and, yes, for those working in community violence intervention (CVI).
