Summary

This study tests whether a workshop led by fellow firefighters can help prevent PTSD, depression, anxiety, and alcohol problems in new firefighter trainees. About 480 recruits will take part during their academy training. They will either receive the emotion-regulation workshop or a standard education session, and will complete surveys over two years to see which approach works better.
