First Responder Conference on Mental Health

Connections in First Responder Mental Health Conference
KPU Surrey - Conference Centre
February 23 & 24, 2017
The KPU Criminology Department in collaboration with Badge of Life Canada are pleased to offer a two-day conference on the important topic of mental health and first responders. This partnership is a tremendous opportunity to highlight the importance of these topics to students, faculty, first responders, and the broader community. This conference will feature speakers with lived experiences from 911 communications, law enforcement, firefighting, psychology, ambulance/paramedic service, corrections, and police victim services. In addition, researchers and those providing therapeutic and peer supports to first responders will discuss current trends in the field.
This information is critical for the great number of Kwantlen students who will be entering professions where they will be exposed to trauma on a regular basis. This event also provides a venue for students, first responders, helpers, professionals, faculty, and community to learn together and support one another.
