Special Populations: Treating Fire and Rescue Professionals

"Title:
Special Populations: Treating Fire and Rescue Professionals
Presenter:
Lauren Kosc, LCPC, NCC
Description:
Fire and emergency rescue professionals are the 24/7 back-bone of public safety. Chronic exposure to human suffering, cumulative trauma, and chronic sleep deprivation put responders at risk for a range of acute and chronic mental health problems. In today’s professional fire service, there has never been a higher demand for culturally compassionate high-quality mental health care. This session will provide an introduction to treating fire and rescue professionals as a unique occupational subculture, within the larger first responder community. Discussion will summarize mental health disorders most prevalent in the fire service, systemic barriers to healthcare utilization for first responders, the role of peer support in accessing care, and best practices to establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with this population. If you are interested in serving the first responders in your local community, this session is for you.
