Clinicians to train in first responder culture HANOVER -The Hanover County Fire-EMS Peer Support Team, in conjunction with the Hanover County Community Services Board (CSB), will host a first responder cultural competency training for mental health clinicians from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. The course is free, eligible for continuing education units, and will be available online. Laura Robertson, Behavioral Health Wellness Specialist at the Hanover CSB, has provided assistance in the
development of the course. “Research has shown that 85 percent of first responders have experienced symptoms related to a mental health problem,” she said. “Now, with the pressures of a pandemic our first responders need culturally competent mental health care more than ever. Clinicians attending the training will learn about the language used in the fire service, how firefighters and other emergency medical workers experience the calls they respond to, unique job stress-
ors, and tips for working with first responders.” Firefighter Craig Bodette, who leads the Peer Support Team and is one of the training facilitators, said he looks forward to building relationships with mental health professionals in the community. “This class will help give clinicians an idea of the different problems we battle due to the job. It will also help cultivate positive and trusting relationships between mental health professionals and those of us in the fire service.”
Attending clinicians that elect to do so also will receive suicide prevention resources including medication lock boxes, gun cable locks, and medication disposal bags to distribute to their clients. If you are a mental health clinician interested in attending or have questions about the training, contact Laura Robertson at larobertson@ hanovercounty.gov.
