Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Emergency Services

Background:

  • Public safety communicators are crucial first responders in emergencies.
  • They experience potentially psychologically traumatic events (PPTE), increasing mental health concerns.
  • Low engagement in mental health help-seeking exacerbates negative consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and contextualize barriers to mental health help-seeking among Canadian public safety communicators.
  • To inform the development of targeted interventions and policies for communicator mental health.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 361 Canadian public safety communicators.
  • Qualitative emergent theme analysis of open-ended responses regarding help-seeking hindrances.

Main Results:

  • Seven key factors hindering help-seeking were identified: access barriers, self-denial, fear of consequences, lack of knowledge, personal feelings, stigma/culture, and inadequate support.
  • These factors collectively impede communicators from accessing necessary mental health services.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding these barriers is essential for improving public safety communicator wellness.
  • Interventions should address identified factors to promote mental health help-seeking and support.
  • Policy changes are needed to foster a supportive environment for mental health in this profession.
