Training Announcement

Building Healthy Workplaces:  How to Promote Mental Health in First Responder Organizations

Western Region Homeland Security Advisory Council (WRHSAC) recognizes the greatest assets in any first responder organization are first responders themselves. First responders encounter stressful situations on a daily basis. Their experiences of potentially traumatic incidents are greater than those seen in most other occupations. This reality places tremendous stress on the nervous system and overall health of team members.

WRHSAC is proud to announce Building Healthy Workplaces: How to promote mental health in first responder organizations. Created by Lillian Lennox LMHC, MA, C-iRest, E-RYT 500 and Calla Harrington LCSW, MSW, MPH. A training focused on supporting first responder and leadership to create positive mental health work environments.

The training is Building Healthy Workplaces: How to promote mental health in first responder organizations. Created by Lillian Lennox LMHC, MA, C-iRest, E-RYT 500 and Calla Harrington LCSW, MSW, MPH.

The training includes two parts: 

• Part One: An online, self-paced Introduction for all first responders: Introduction: Building Healthy Workplaces
• Part Two: A comprehensive interactive, virtual, four-session series for first responder leadership: Building Health Workplaces: How to promote mental health in first responder organizations. Priority for registration will be given to leadership in western Massachusetts for this portion of the training.

Please note the Part One introductory online training is a prerequisite for leadership interested in participating in Part Two.
