Resilience - The Avalanche

This film features a Mountain Rescue volunteer's first experience of responding to a fatal avalanche and how he coped afterwards. He uses his experiences over 25 years of service to give advice on building personal resilience and staying well in the job.

Stephen Fry on the Resilience Series:
"It is so important to see these heroes speaking so honestly about the real impact of the horrors they face in their jobs. It doubles the nature of their courage. Hopefully, this will create a new precedent for an open and supportive culture within the emergency services and encourage the public to clamour for the resources that they deserve.”
