First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a workshop led by fellow firefighters can help prevent PTSD, depression, anxiety, and alcohol problems in new firefighter recruits. About 480 trainees will take part in either an emotion regulation workshop or a standard education session during their academy training. They will complete surveys before, right after, and up to two years after the workshop to see which approach works better.
