This paper addresses the growing recognition of occupational stressors impacting the mental health of public safety personnel (PSP) and their families. While numerous programs support PSP well-being, limited attention is given to family members, who navigate increased worry, social isolation, and the challenge of supporting a psychologically injured spouse. Drawing from the functional disconnection/functional reconnection (FD/FR) framework, this paper introduces FD/FR family—a proactive model tailored to PSP families. Rooted in Stoicism, this innovative adaptation extends the application of FD/FR concepts to benefit not only PSP members but also their families. FD/FR family advocates temporarily setting aside personal reactions and improving emotional processing to enhance communication, flexibility, and mitigate vicarious trauma and mental health deterioration. This paper offers PSP family-specific examples and urges future research to identify essential FD/FR components accepted by both PSP and their families.

FD/FR家庭：公共安全人员家庭中的功能断开和重新连接

本文讨论了人们日益认识到的职业压力源影响公共安全人员 (PSP) 及其家人心理健康的问题。虽然有许多项目支持 PSP 的福祉，但对家庭成员的关注有限，他们要应对日益增加的担忧、社会孤立以及支持心理受伤的配偶的挑战。本文借鉴功能断开/功能重连（FD/FR）框架，介绍了FD/FR系列——一种为PSP系列量身定制的主动模型。这种创新的改编植根于斯多葛主义，扩展了 FD/FR 概念的应用，不仅使 PSP 成员受益，而且使他们的家人受益。FD/FR家庭主张暂时搁置个人反应并改善情绪处理，以增强沟通、灵活性，并减轻替代性创伤和心理健康恶化。本文提供了 PSP 系列特定的示例，并敦促未来的研究以确定 PSP 及其系列所接受的基本 FD/FR 组件。
