Building A Mentally Resilient Department

John Petersen, Captain, Murray City Fire Department, Murray City, Utah

This course is designed to give firefighters / EMS personnel a realistic look at why the Fire
Service suffers from mental health issues and how to realistically address the problem.
Students are given the skills to objectively look at their organization and determine what areas
are causing mental strain, and how to create an environment where firefighters are mentally
resilient. This course emphasizes the prevention of mental health issues before they grow
into full scale personal problems as well as how organizations can respond to the needs of
their personnel during mentally trying times. With the characteristic culture of the fire service,
this class offers a very unique and informed insight into the Fire Service mental health.
