Dr. Samantha Horswill has dedicated her research and clinical work to preventing and treating PTSD. She works regularly with frontline worker, healthcare, and public safety personnel agencies at municipal, provincial, & federal levels. This workshop has been designed to help first responders, healthcare workers, and frontline workers sharpen their resilience and keep a sense of satisfaction and humor in their jobs. You will learn to assess your baseline mental health and recognize changes; build a practical, research-informed resilience routine; plan for recovery after a critical incident or difficult day; and understand available options to treat an operational stress injury.
