Stress has become an omnipresent issue in modern life, especially in high-stress professions. Recent statistics show that 80% of U.S. workers are experiencing stress on the job (American Institute of Stress, 2024), and work stress is the second top cause of stress in America (American Psychological Association, 2017). While many people first think of first responders when it comes to stressful professions, our last responders are another profession that is particularly prone to high levels of stress which can lead to a significant impact on mental health, physical well-being, and overall life satisfaction. In recent years, the conversation surrounding stress has shifted toward its long-term consequences, including burnout, anxiety, and depression. A promising strategy to mitigate these effects is enhancing emotional intelligence (EI) which is the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence one's own emotions and the emotions of others.
