Preparing to Fall: The Loss and Rebound of Mental Health
This class will incorporate a real-life story of the effects of job and life on our own mental health along with the tools and mindset necessary to overcome the obstacles we can't avoid regardless of where we work. The call volume, geographic makeup, and acuity of calls exist at different levels, depending on the department. However, mental health challenges always exist. Topics include tools to manage loneliness, temporary loss of identity, being sidelined, and physical challenges. We are doing a great job of setting firefighters up for success. We will take a deep dive into setting up firefighters who have experienced these challenges.
