Public safety personnel (PSP) are frequently exposed to psychologically traumatic events. The exposures potentiate posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSIs), including disorder (PTSD). Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Protocol was designed mitigate PTSIs using ongoing monitoring and PSP-delivered Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST) based on the Unified for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Disorders. current study pilot-tested ERST effectiveness among diverse PSP. A 16-month longitudinal design engaged serving PSP (n = 119; 34 % female; firefighters, municipal police, paramedics, public communicators) who completed ERST. Participants were assessed symptoms PTSIs, but not limited PTSD, at pre- post-training, 1-year follow-up self-report measures clinical interviews. There reductions in diagnostic interview positive screens PTSD other PTSI from post-training (ps < 0.05), with mental health sustained or improved follow-up. Improvements observed firefighters (Cohen's d 0.40 0.71), police 0.28 0.38), paramedics 0.20 0.56), communicators 0.05 0.14). Ongoing ERST, can produce small large improvements PSP, challenges, variations influenced by pre-training factors organizational supports. replication extension research appears warranted.
