As Firefighter Stand Down Week approaches, check out this upcoming Lexipol webinar:
The Firefighter Mindshift:
Leading the Behavioral Health Reset
Monday, June 16, 2025 | 1 pm Eastern [60 minutes]
This webinar will use the “reset” framework to explore the connection between mental health, performance, and leadership, and to provide a new perspective on promoting mental wellness in the fire service.
You’ll learn:
- Why mental health is a spectrum, not a binary concept.
- How to develop a resilient mindset when it comes to working on your (and your crew’s) mental and behavioral health.
- THIS IS CRITICAL: The role company officers and other leaders play in smashing the stigma around (and leading/how to lead) when dealing with) behavioral health issues.
- Strategies to help you effectively care for your people, from the recruit academy to retirement.
