The APA Health and Wellness Dept. has teamed up with the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta to create a 2 part workshop intended for Psychologists or Physicians who manage, or intend on managing Alberta’s Paramedics who may have sustained an occupational stress injury.

Led by Greg Gorecki CD, EMT-P and Association Health and Wellness Manager, the attendees of this workshop will get a first-hand account of a practitioners perspective on the day-to-day life and pressures of being a Paramedic in Alberta. This is intended to be a comprehensive presentation of the various stressors that may lead to an occupational stress injury such as PTSD.

Let your voice resonate into the psychological community!
What do you want the therapist community to know about your job?
