Join the second cohort of a comprehensive, one-year, EMS Mental Health fellowship program designed to equip EMS leaders and clinicians with the tools to develop and support mental health and well-being in their agencies.

This statewide program aims to select at least one EMS mental health champion, from each of the 18 EMS Regions, to become a Resilience Officer Fellow, providing them with specialized training and peer collaboration.

Fellows will participate in a three-day “kick-off” event, foundational mental health training, and monthly virtual or in-person meetings; gaining the knowledge to become a resilience officer and develop an impactful peer support program in their agency.

Through training and the development of a network of like-minded EMS professionals, this fellowship empowers participants to create a lasting change.

No prior mental health experience required—just a passion for supporting your team.
