Firefighter Cancer Support Network, Ohio

A cancer diagnosis can leave even the most seasoned firefighter feeling blindsided.

Shock, fear, anger, disrupted sleep, withdrawal, or difficulty focusing are normal reactions—not weaknesses.

The BLTM Framework (Behaviors, Life Events, Thinking, Mood) helps firefighters understand these responses and identify healthy ways to process them.

Support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being—because taking care of your mind is part of survivorship.
