Firefighters face extraordinary mental and emotional challenges every day. From responding to high-pressure emergencies to witnessing traumatic events, the psychological toll can be significant. To help firefighters in TC Energy Communities protect their mental health, CMHA Ontario is offering the Resilient Minds™ program this fall.
Running from October to December 2024 and fully funded by TC Energy’s social impact program, Build Strong, Resilient Minds™ is a specialized training course designed to strengthen mental resilience in fire services. These fully-funded courses offer critical tools for managing stress, understanding psychological trauma, and building resilience—skills that are vital for firefighters.
What Will You Learn? Participants in Resilient Minds will:
- Gain knowledge about psychological trauma and disorders, understanding the mental health challenges that firefighters often face.
- Learn practical strategies to manage stress effectively and foster resilience.
- Understand how to support fellow firefighters and promote a culture of mental well-being within their teams.
By offering proactive solutions, Resilient Minds helps firefighters recognize early signs of stress and provides them with the techniques needed to safeguard their mental health. This training ensures that firefighters not only handle the demands of their profession but also thrive mentally and emotionally.

Whether they’re providing grants to equip first responders, awarding scholarships to future energy problem-solvers, or supporting local events that bring people together, their goal is to help build strong, vibrant communities.
