A message from the host – Daniel Sundahl – I’ve invited a few of my contacts to come speak on the mental health resources available to first responders in the Edmonton area. This is a free event open to all emergency workers. Our speakers will share the mental health resources they have developed that are available to first responders and their families. I will also speak on mental health recovery and post traumatic growth. Come join us at the McLab Centre in Leduc to hear about some of the resources available to us here in the Edmonton area or get some ideas that you can implement for your own service. A special thank you to the Leduc City Fire Services for sponsoring this event so it can be free for everyone to attend.
