Helping rural EMS providers live well and take good care of their emotional and psychological well-being must be a local service priority. Wellbeing and resilience are so much more than training. This is about changing how we think and act. It’s about making it easy and normal for responders to put their wellbeing first and take better care of each other. The “Responders First” training is an ongoing program to help local services improve the experiences of their providers and build in provider wellbeing as a service priority. The purpose of “Responders First” is to support agencies in improving the emotional and psychological health of providers and genuinely help them be resilient and more satisfied in doing their important work.
"Responders First" is a 2-hour presentation developed to start a discussion about wellbeing within your agency.
The objectives of the presentation:
Eleven providers across the state are available to bring the "Responders First" Presentation to your agency. Contact the office to set up a training. In addition, feel free to check out the resources below.
