Summary
This study tests a group program called FIRE, designed to help firefighters cope with stress and trauma.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
FIRE psychological intervention (mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and compassion-based group sessions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, practical program to support firefighters' mental health and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study with only 53 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program is not yet proven to work.
