The cost and ROI of firefighter mental health

Fire Chief Dallas D'Aoust is a strong advocate for mental health, leading an initiative that secured dedicated mental health funding for his previous department in Yorkton, Sask. In this month’s podcast he discusses the cost of mental health and what that means for today’s firefighters. D’Aoust has spent over 20 years in the fire service after beginning his career in Edmonton. Note: Since recording, D’Aoust has moved into a new role as fire chief for Cochrane, Alta.
