Community Education for Fire Fighters & First Responders

The Stress First Aid (SFA) model is a self-care, leadership, and coworker support model developed for those in potentially high-stress occupations like military, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and health care. It includes seven actions that will help to identify and address early signs of stress reactions in oneself and others in an ongoing way (not just after “critical incidents”). Stress First Aid is a flexible framework that gives guidance on how to quickly assess and respond to stress reactions resulting from both personal and work stress, helps to preserve well-being, prevent further harm, and promote recovery.
