Resilience Toolbox: Chief Corthell—Mental Wellness Program for Fire Departments

On this installment of Resilience Toolbox, we’re speaking with Jason Corthell - Director of Ironclad Wellness and Division Chief of Training, Harris County TX Emergency Services District 13. Jason and his team have created SOPs, SOGs and other documentation to facilitate a groundbreaking Emotional Wellness program for optimal mental health.

This program offers Optimal Mental Wellness for firefighters and their families through chaplaincy, peer support and therapy delivered in person, virtually and via embedded clinicians at the fire station. Today we're going to find out more about the documentation that provides the infrastructure for this Program.
