This qualitative study investigated cultural aspects of how public safety workers experience Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and culturally congruent effective treatment approaches for healing and recovery. The public safety worker culture-sharing group for this research consisted of emergency responders, including fire/rescue and law enforcement, mental health clinicians who are emergency responders, and emergency responders who are military combat veterans. A review of the existing literature is provided, including an overview of critical incidents, complex trauma, PTSD, trauma and cultural context, and current treatment approaches. The methods for this study consisted of ethnography and autoethnography. Participants included 8 adult emergency responders, of which 7 are recovering from PTSD, 6 are males, 2 are females, 1 is a clinician/emergency responder/combat veteran, 1 is a clinician/emergency responder, and 1 is an emergency responder/combat veteran. Research settings included fire/rescue and police stations, the 36th and 37th Virginia Office of Emergency Services Annual Symposium, and the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat (WCPR); a residential treatment program exclusively for public safety workers and combat veterans. Instruments included the Primary Care PTSD (PC-PTSD) screen, interviews, and field observations. Collected data consisted of responses to interview questions, narratives, conference presentations, field notes, artifacts, documents, and aesthetics. Data analysis included thematic coding to identify and synthesize themes pertinent to the research question. The findings of this study provide an overview of the public safety worker culture and convey their experiences of traumatizing critical incidents and PTSD as well as processes of healing and recovery. A brief investigation of similarities and differences between public safety worker and combat veteran cultures in their experiences of PTSD and recovery is included. Outcomes provide a comprehensive foundation for further research in understanding public safety workers as a culture, including cultural aspects of how they experience and recover from trauma. Implications for culturally congruent effective treatment include understanding and addressing the cultural toughness/hero expectation and associated stigma of expressing distress and/or seeking treatment, the importance of clinician cultural competence with public safety workers, integrated whole person therapeutic approaches, and the role of public safety organizations in reducing and preventing posttraumatic stress.
