Meeting the post-intervention needs of first responders: Reports from first responder leaders – Panel

A panel of first responders representing police, FBI, firefighters, and medics who received early EMDR treatment following the Sandy Hook shooting will discuss their departments’ mental health needs in the aftermath of this disaster. Attention will be focused both on how mental health, public safety, and medical departments can build resilience amongst their workers who dispatch to disaster and on the impact of response to their department’s growing focus on mental health disaster preparedness via peer support and ongoing mental health interventions.
