Where are the psychologists?
As a retired fire department battalion chief and a fire service member of the Fire Service Psychology Association, I’m deeply concerned about the efforts to develop national-level strategies for improving firefighter mental health services and reduce firefighter suicides without the guidance and direction of licensed psychologists. IMO, doing so is akin to a fire department developing patient care protocols without the guidance and direction of a licensed medical doctor.
