ME First

Designed around World Mental Health Day, the ME First campaign aims to draw attention to the mental health and wellbeing of paramedics, as well as breaking down stigmas around asking for help.

This year CAA focused on providing tools and facts through social media channels.

Our FIRST by CAA magazine Wellness columnist Mitch Mullooly conducted a video for CAA explaining the need to draw attention to mental health within our ambulance services, and how we can show ourselves some compassion in this difficult environment.

CAA Board Chair Tony Walker shared with our social media followers a special message specifically directed at paramedics to ‘take care of ourselves’

Other content was posted throughout the month detailing general facts and tips surrounding mental health and wellbeing.
