Fire Service Behavioral Health Management Guide

The complexity of behavioral health programs can create a sense of paralysis as organizations try to address a myriad of challenges. This guide seeks to help fire departments in the process by providing guidance and considerations culled from the experience of fire departments across the country. The guide pulls from the experiences of departments of all sizes, response needs, and demographics. It is not an A-Z guide for setting up an effective behavioral health program but is designed to help departments understand where to start and what considerations need to be addressed through the lens of an individual department’s situation.
