MindEd Blue Light Services eLearning (webpage)
This elearning is for all emergency and first responders, in all fields, not just the NHS. We include here Police, Fire and Rescue, Lifeboats and Waterways, Railways, Search and Rescue.
The aim is to help staff to identify, better support each other and so to manage early distress and stress in its various forms. This includes, but is by no means limited to, vicarious trauma experienced either by themselves or other members of their team as a result of their work.
Rates of distress and mental disorder in blue light service staff are known to be high. Collectively blue light personnel and emergency responders have expressed a wish to be able to support each other better. This includes improved awareness.
There are two sets of top tips and four full e learning sessions, to support blue light staff, managers and services to consider their team and organisational culture, to supporting each other and looking out for distress safely and effectively and to have good, safe conversations that build trust.
