Identity after the job: for firefighters and fire service staff

The watch is not just colleagues. It is belonging, routine and a place where you know exactly who you are. When that changes, whether through retirement, promotion, injury or a move off station, the practical side is manageable and the identity side is the part nobody prepared you for.

How AURIS supports firefighters

Losing the watch is a real loss

Belonging is part of identity. Naming what has gone makes it possible to rebuild rather than push through.

Before the crisis, not after

This work is more useful in the months before a role ends than in the year after it. You can start while you are still in.

In your own words

You write what is happening for you, and you keep it. No group session, no sharing unless you choose to.

Where this connects

This sits closest to the After Service pathway.
