Brief Summary: The proposed study aims to understand the impact of a 5-Class CBTm Course on variables contributing to workplace resilience among Public Safety Personnel (PSP). This involves examining the impact of the CBTm Course on prevention of PTSD and related conditions among PSPs. This research project will be undertaken using a randomized-controlled trial design. Questionnaires will be completed 1) before taking the course, 2) during the course, 3) after the course, and 4) at three-month follow-up.
Detailed Description: The current proposal plans to implement and evaluate a CBT intervention for building workplace resilience by preventing symptoms of PTSD and related conditions in Public Safety Personnel (i.e., police officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency communications, and correctional officers), in Manitoba, Canada. The intervention used in this study is the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Mindfulness (CBTm) Course.

Participants will be randomized into either the intervention group (CBTm) arm or the comparison arm. Participants placed in the intervention arm will be invited to immediately participate in the CBT intervention. Participants in the comparison arm will be placed on a 3-month waiting-list and will be invited to attend the CBT intervention following completion of the study. While placed in the comparison arm, participants may access the usual mental health supports that are normally offered through their respective occupational organizations, EAP programs, and other programs in the community.

Those who do not meet eligibility criteria will not be enrolled into the study, but will still be invited to attend the CBTm classes as space allows. Ineligible participants will not be randomized and their data will not be used in our analysis of the trial.

The Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Mindfulness (CBTm) Course for Public Safety Personnel is a brief psychoeducational course consisting of 5 classes (90 minutes each) occurring on a weekly basis. The CBTm course addresses the fundamentals of CBT and provides participants with practical strategies for managing stress (such as relaxation strategies, cognitive restructuring, goal setting, behavioural activation, and exposure therapy). The sessions will be facilitated by a mental health-professional (i.e. psychiatrist, psychologist, and/or social worker).

Participants will complete self-report evaluation forms at baseline, weekly at CBTm Classes 1 to 5, post-intervention at 6 weeks, and follow-up at 3 months. They will be asked to complete the following measures: (1) Modified DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Measure - Adult, (2) Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, (3) Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9), (4) Session Evaluation questionnaire, (5) Homework Evaluation Form, (6) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for the DSM-5 (PCL-5) with Life Events Checklist (LEC-5) and Criterion A, (7) Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 item (CD-RISC 10), (8) Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), (9) Short Form-12 (SF-12), (10) Drop out Form, (11) Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire 15-Item (FFMQ-15), (12) Perceived Stress Scale, (13) Utrecht Work Engagement Scale 9-Item (UWES-9), and (14) Service Utilization Follow Up.
