Northern Ireland Ambulance Service
By signing up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment in February 2022 NIAS has made a commitment to making our organisation a place where the importance of promoting and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our people is recognised.
For the blue light community, signing up to the Commitment represents a collective movement across all emergency services and throughout the UK; it’s a statement of intent, declaring that mental health at work is a strategic priority for all.
Prioritising mental health in the emergency services has never been more important. With plenty of information, resources and real-life stories to support emergency responders The Blue Light Together website and their real life stories are here to help you.
