When Helping Hurts: PTSD in first responders

July 2, 2018 by ufuadmin

This is the report of Australia21/FearLess Roundtable discussions and consultation

A new report is available that explores better ways of preventing the debilitating mental consequences of traumatic stress and improving mental health outcomes for front-line first responder personnel.

The report was produced by Australia21 and Fearless following a roundtable discussion held in May 2017 bringing together many representatives from first responder organisations and associated parties.

Here is a brief overview and here is a link to a pdf copy, including Executive Summary, of the When helping hurts: PTSD in first responders report.
