Bio
Our mandate is to provide Critical Incident Stress Management services for the fire service in Nova Scotia. We also provide CISM services to volunteer Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) teams across our province.
Currently we average providing service to several hundred personnel (fire and others) annually. This includes an array of CISM services. 2023 Proved to be much busier than in previous years thus ensuring the important need for this service playing a critical role in supporting the mental health and well-being of firefighters, helping them cope with the emotional impact of these critical incidents and promoting long-term resilience and recovery.
