PFFMaine Behavioral Health Resources
IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS AND WISH TO SPEAK WITH A PEER SUPPORT PROVIDER CALL (207) 752-1520 There is growing concern about behavioral health issues and the significant impact on wellness. The stresses faced by fire fighters, paramedics and EMTs throughout the course of their careers – incidents involving children, violence, inherent dangers of firefighting and other potentially traumatic events – can have a cumulative impact on mental health and well-being. The PFFMaine continues to develop resources that educate and support members on behavioral health concerns. Check back often for updated information on behavioral health programs and resources.
