Operational response by firefighters requires an abrupt change from rest to near-maximal physical effort and incorporates almost instant stress management that must be made during extreme heat, limited time and partial information, yet little is known about the coping strategies incorporated to manage the physiological and psychological demands associated with this environment. A sample of 22 UK firefighters took part in focus groups identifying frequently used coping techniques based upon problem-focused and emotion-focused coping methods.

preliminary evidence suggests that trauma-focused approaches may have some efficacy, this could not be

in more treatment-resistant refugees with very high levels of psychopathology, disability, and chronicity. In the
