What do we really know about mental health challenges in the fire service?
We often hear that mental health struggles in the fire service are “well known” — but do we truly understand the root causes, or how these challenges compare to the broader population?
This year’s Darley & National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) essay contest invites you to dig deeper. Explore the why behind the mental health issues that affect firefighters, and what makes this issue unique to the fire service. Is it the job itself, the culture, or something bigger?
This is your chance to contribute ideas that could spark real change. Whether you’re a firefighter, researcher, clinician, or just passionate about mental health, your voice matters. See more info and apply here: https://lnkd.in/gZDCCkFg.
