***ADDED TO information for > Psychologists***
One of the largest, if not THE largest issue that responders have in finding appropriate treatment for a mental injury, is finding a provider that understands what our normal is.
The Alberta Paramedic Association Health and Wellness Dept has worked diligently with many stakeholders over the last few years to not only recommend a standard level of training in order to treat paramedicine practitioners, but also offer cultural competency education for professionals who treat paramedics.
This work has resulted in:
- The development of a mental health service provider registry
- The development of standards for psychotherapy service providers
