  • supporting someone struggling with their mental health,
  • health and wellbeing support for ambulance staff and volunteers,
  • guidance for managers on psychosocial support and mental wellbeing of ambulance personnel in a pandemic crisis, and
  • evidence-based tools to support the wellbeing of frontline staff.
