Mental Health and Collecting

  • The BC Wildfire Service addressed the mental health needs of its staff following the 2023 wildfire season in British Columbia.
  • This emphasis arose after six wildland firefighters in B.C. Lost their lives, coupled with widespread stress and fatigue within the team, leading to the introduction of proactive mental health initiatives.
  • Key initiatives include the New Recruit Boot Camp, Resilient Minds training by the Canadian Mental Health Association, and a 24/7 mental health hotline for all employees.
  • The Resilient Minds program teaches the '4R Action Toolkit'—Recognize, Respond, Resources, and Reconnect—to reduce trauma impact and enhance psychological health.
  • These developments suggest BC Wildfire is improving mental health support to increase resilience and reduce stigma among frontline and support staff.
