Mental Health Awareness for First Responders, 2nd Edition offers a Canadian perspective on the challenges first responders and helping professionals face in identifying and interacting with individuals living with mental health issues. Using relevant examples, real-life case studies, discussion questions and scenarios, this resource helps readers successfully navigate mental health and addictions issues while working in the criminal justice system in Canada.

This resource offers key insights into both historical and emerging developments at the intersection of mental health and criminal justice in front-line professions. It clearly addresses common mental health issues that readers will come across in their careers and the specific strategies and resources needed to intervene with those in crisis. This text concludes with an examination of the ways in which Canadian organizations have responded to current mental crises and calls for systemic change.

The second edition contains a new chapter devoted to the state of mental health interventions in correctional settings and court systems across Canada. It also incorporates new case studies, scenario boxes with discussion questions, as well as “Spotlight on Mental Health” boxes, personal interviews with front-line workers from across Canada.

By examining mental health through a practical lens, readers will feel confident in their ability to respond to the mental health issues in a positive manner, making this an essential resource for current or aspiring professionals in law enforcement, emergency management, fire services, EMS, corrections, search and rescue, border services, social work, dispatchers, and other front-line workers.

Mental Health: Self-Care for First Responders, 2nd Edition is a user-friendly handbook on common mental health challenges for first responders and helping professionals doing front-line work. The handbook includes information about identifying symptoms of stress, understanding different kinds of mental health issues, and strategies for engaging in self-care and trauma recovery. Topics covered include PTSD, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, suicide, resiliency, and more. 

Written to address the need for ongoing emotional support for society’s front-line workers, the second edition includes new material on organizational response to trauma, first-responder workplace culture, moral injury, stigmatization, as well as a revised self-care plan and new “Spotlight on Mental Health” boxes in which first responders across Canada share their story of mental health resiliency in the field. 

Those with careers in law enforcement, emergency management, fire services, EMS, corrections, border services, social work, or other community justice fields are often prepared to take care of others, but with this resource, they will now be prepared to take care of themselves.
