Mental Health Strategy for First Responders 2017
March 29 - 30, 2017
Melbourne , Australia
The nature of emergency service work exposes first responders to increased levels of trauma, in addition to everyday personal and occupational stressors. However mental health stigma continues to prevent many from seeking help when they need it. The recent investigation into the mental health support available to Victoria Police indicated huge gaps in accessibility and internal engagement for mental health. Because exposure to trauma is inevitable, it is crucial for emergency services leadership and management to take real action and develop a holistic strategy to address the mental health needs of employees.
