Fit for Duty Training Manual
by Stephen J. Sampson, Ph.D.
Are You Built to Manage the Challenges of Public Safety?
Public Safety occupations (law enforcement, fire/EMS, military) place their personnel in situations that require superior mental, social, emotional and moral resilience. Constant exposure to life’s unfairness and trauma can have long-term negative effects on a person’s well being.
The well-documented (sometimes hidden) incidences of substance abuse, divorce, losing self-control and suicide in public safety work needs to be addressed proactively and not just reactively.
The goal of the Fit for Duty training is to provide personnel in public safety roles technical abilities that increase their mental, emotional, social and moral resilience. It is a “how to” course that promotes actual skills that can increase self-control and resilience. The purpose of the Fit for Duty Training Manual is to operationalize (put into practice) many of the concepts discussed in the training by Stephen J. Sampson.
