Abstract
We explored whether having children reduced first responder suicidality in a residential treatment program (n = 95) using data collected via the Symptom Assessment for Emergency Responders - Revised (SAFER-R) questionnaire. We found that having children did not significantly impact/reduce first responder suicidality, contrasting with the extant literature.
