About the Series
This webinar is part of a year-long series, “Helping the Helpers: Supporting Firefighters and their Families as They Overcome the Challenges of Disaster Response.”
The series provides comprehensive, evidence-based, and culturally relevant education, training, resources and support to increase knowledge, decrease stigma, and ultimately improve the wellbeing of firefighters and their families. The ultimate goal is to create a network of empowered individuals who can provide peer-to-peer support, resources, and skills that will help prevent mental health issues in the fire service and foster healthier relationships with families.
