Objectives and Summary:

The Stress Continuum Model is an assessment tool, developed by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, to help service members better identify their stress levels and reactions to stress. This model creates common language, gives examples of observable warning signs for stress, and can be applied to many different populations, including the fire service and other first responders. This training will help attendees understand how stress develops, better identify unmanaged stress in oneself and peers and practical ways for managing acute and chronic stress.

Objectives: 

  • Discuss stressors in the fire service
  • Introduce the Stress Continuum Model and its four parts
  • Discuss how to use the continuum in everyday life
  • Identify tips for managing stress
