The Engaging With Mental Health Professionals Workgroup is looking for some additional volunteers to fill out its team. The group is seeking individuals who have experience in the mental health provider space, as well as professionals with experience working with 9-1-1 or Public Safety as a provider. The WG would also take anyone just willing to lend a hand and help out.
This workgroup seeks to help develop and/or strengthen relationships between PSAP’s and Mental Health service providers to promote the wellbeing of Emergency Communications Specialists and other PSAP staff. It seeks to do this through two projects. The first project is internal facing and seeks to provide agencies with an information document to ensure that when establishing Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) within their workplace that they are identifying and selecting the most appropriate resources for their program. The second project focuses on engaging the external mental health provider community and to provide them with guidance on the unique stressors faced by Emergency Communications Specialists and PSAP staff and best practices in engaging them in treatment.
