The demands of public safety work can significantly increase the risk of fatigue among first responders and other public safety personnel (PSP), which can contribute to occupational burnout and have serious consequences for both physical and mental health. This online panel discussion builds on a February 26 presentation about organizational policies and guidelines for managing fatigue.
We invite you to join an expert panel for an interactive discussion on fatigue, stress, burnout, and sleep. In this session:
- Learn how occupational demands can contribute to fatigue and burnout among PSP.
- Learn evidence-based strategies for managing fatigue, stress, sleep, and burnout.
- Engage with experts and ask questions based on your own personal and professional experiences.
