Résumé

"First Responder vocations inherently involve exposure to operational stressors, such as shift work, extensive public scrutiny, workplace harassment or bullying, and to potentially traumatic events, such as threats to own life and witnessing violence, scenes of accidents, homicide, and suicide (Berger et al., 2012; Hegg-Deloye et al., 2013; Pasiack & Kelley, 2013). Repeated exposure to operational and organizational stressors can have harmful effects on First Responders’ well-being. Robust statistical trends specific to Canadian First Responders are severely lacking, but the available data and literature suggest a significant proportion of police officers, paramedic personnel, and fire and rescue personnel will experience psychological difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal thoughts at some point in their life (Berger et al., 2012; Stanley, Hom, & Joiner, 2016). Not all psychological difficulties can be attributed specifically to public safety work; however, effective and empirically validated organizational policies can help cultivate psychological well-being."--Page 9.
