- Abstract
- Stress is recognized as one of the most serious occupational hazards affecting a firefighter's health, well-being and career. On the other hand, we know that stress is not something to be avoided absolutely, as it is essential for vitality and optimal functioning. In this program, participants will learn about fire service stress and how to apply sound stress managing principles for the purpose of minimizing the health-ravaging and costly consequences of excessive stress. Participants will learn how to become active, competent architects of career and life.
