First Responder Wellness (101)
The First Responder Wellness 101 course tackles the mental and wellness difficulties confronted by the First Responder community in their line of duty.
The First Responder Wellness 101 course, a creation of the Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association (AMHSA) in collaboration with the Government of Alberta, is designed to help manage the mental and wellness issues that the First Responder community encounters in their professional duties.
The course is a web-based awareness program. All the components of this course have been designed with the direct participation of experienced First Responders who comprehend the mental health risks and challenges their colleagues face during and outside work hours.
The aim of this program is to foster wellness in First Responders, offer knowledge and mindfulness on how to uphold mental and health wellness in your department, and provide an understanding of the resources that are accessible. The potential participants in this program within the First Responder community can include all operational personnel, dispatch, administrative and support staff, and even members of the First Responder’s family.
The following topics are addressed in the online awareness course segment of the program:
- Understanding of psychological health and wellness
- The social stigma around mental health
- The influence First Responder duties can have on mental wellness
- Methods to foster resilience
- Indicators of when assistance is required in oneself or in a colleague
- Resources accessible to the First Responder community
