Description

Presents findings of a study conducted to assess the impact of providing a high-fidelity implementation of a specific model of structured peer support for individuals in four integrated fire and emergency medical services departments. Public safety personnel who had previously participated in peer support reported greater perceived peer support skills and greater perceived value of peer support than those with no previous peer support participation. The evidence for peer support appears promising for supporting the mental health of public safety personnel.

Description

GAP-MAP was designed to inform Alberta's Addiction and Mental Health Strategy. Generally, the approach of most governments to developing strategic priorities has emphasized consultations, discussions, and priority-setting exercises. The approach taken in GAP-MAP was to demonstrate the value of a planning approach that emphasizes evidence-informed discussions about priorities. To this end, the project has attempted to produce a detailed, comprehensive, and systematic description of provincially funded addiction and mental health services in relation to population need. Results from the project are intended to lay the groundwork for building a population-based model for addiction and mental health service planning in Alberta.
