The current COVID-19 pandemic has created a new normal for Canadians. This pandemic has led to a lot of information available in the media about supporting front line workers. This has created an outpouring of support for the men and women that work on the front lines. However, information about the rules to follow and how we can support front line workers can be confusing.
The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada, as a key stakeholder of The Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and Treatment (CIPSRT) has worked with our public safety personnel (PSP) partners to create a short video titled “Help Us Help You.” This video provides helpful tips straight from PSP on how the public can support them. CIPSRT hopes that this video will create clarity on the best practices for helping PSP during this pandemic. Below are links for the video in English and French. CIPSRT hopes that you will consider sharing the video with your network to help communicate these important tips. We have included possible Facebook and Twitter suggestions below.
