Publication notice for the anticipated book "Le stress derrière l'uniforme": An unprecedented look at stress management for police officers, firefighters and ambulance attendants
13 Agosto 2024 - 12:44PM
In recent years, the issues surrounding stress management among
first responders have been widely documented and covered by the
media. However, the last book written on stress management for
police officers dates back more than 20 years, with no equivalent
for firefighters and ambulance attendants that addresses the
challenges common to these three emergency professions in Quebec.
With this new publication, the authors have sought
to analyse the unique challenges faced by first responders,
demystify their stress and show them that, properly managed, it is
a powerful tool for making them even more effective in their
interventions. The book [editionssr.com/en] focuses on stress in
emergency situations, a particular kind of stress that can have
dramatic consequences for first responders and the citizens they
serve.
What you will discover in "Le stress
derrière l’uniforme":
- An understanding of the mechanisms of
stress in emergency situations and the disorders that can
result.
- An exploration of the sources of
stress specific to each profession.
- Validated strategies applied to the
specific context of emergency intervention.
- Poignant testimonials from police
officers, firefighters and ambulance crews confronted with
traumatic events.
- Essential resources for those affected
by stress-related disorders.
Why is it important?
As first responders continue to face increasing
challenges, maintaining good mental health is more crucial than
ever. “Le stress derrière l’uniforme” [editionssr.com/en] offers a
response to this growing concern, providing tangible tools to
support those on the front line.
We cordially invite you to attend the official
launch of Jacques Boilard and Sonia Tremblay's book, “Le stress
derrière l'uniforme” [editionssr.com/en], which will take place on
5 September at Cégep Garneau. This will be a unique opportunity to

difference in the lives of first responders and those they
serve.
Don't miss this opportunity to discover a new
chapter in understanding and managing stress for first responders
in Quebec.
