Mental health for firefighters has long been recognized and highlighted; however, the position of Fire Chief is unique in the fire service and traditional peer support programs don’t necessarily meet their needs. Interacting with line firefighters in these sessions may be uncomfortable for the executive leader, but the need still exists.
President Purcell, on behalf of FCAM, and the On-Site Academy recognize that dilemma and would like to design and offer a program specifically for Chief Officers. This survey is intended to measure the interest and specifics that would appeal to our members. Please give us your thoughts on this important subject.
