The lecture will feature experts in the field who will discuss various aspects of mental health, coping mechanisms, and available resources for firefighters.
By focusing on these critical issues, the program aims to provide valuable insights and support to those who serve on the front lines. This partnership highlights the commitment of both UMass Chan and the Last Call Foundation to enhance the well-being of firefighters and promote a culture of mental health awareness within the profession.
