Wounded Warriors Canada, a national mental health care provider, has connected with yet another first responders group: the paramedics of Peterborough County. Wounded Warriors executive director Scott Maxwell and Peterborough Paramedics Chief Randy Mellow explain the link between the mental stress of careers in military and that of first responders. The organizations use layers of outreach in the battle for the mental health and stability of first responders, and each layer could be the one that settles a mental-health crisis, creates a pathway for managing stress , or possibly prevents death by suicide.
