Please join us at the 2022 Emergency Services Mental Health Symposium
Booking is now open for the Emergency Services Mental Health Symposium taking place on 23rd & 24th of November at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire.
As a follow up to the Symposium held in London last November by The Royal Foundation (you can get a recap of that here) – this ‘one year on’ event is being hosted by a collaboration of emergency service and first responder organisations, together with the charities that support them.
This year’s event, sponsored by Class Professional Publishing and Priority Dispatch, will be a unique opportunity to hear from practitioners, senior leaders, frontline staff and subject matter experts from a wide range of 999 services and organisations from across the UK.
Bringing people together to share learning and showcase work, delegates will discover how to maximise the impact they can have on improving wellbeing within their own organisations and also hear the progress that has been made since the inaugural event last year.
The Symposium will also include a lived experience panel with members of three emergency services, sessions on getting active, family support, managing fatigue and supporting new recruits, and a Wellbeing Hub space for delegates to unwind in.
The Symposium is also hosting the Emergency Responders’ Seniors Leaders Board meeting, with an update and next steps session being delivered to delegates by Martin Hewitt, Assistant Commissioner of the Chair of the National Police Chiefs Council.
