Challenges of rescue dog work
In addition to physical health, mental health is a valuable asset worth protecting and a prerequisite for our sometimes stressful voluntary work with the rescue dog team.
The first signs of mental stress are often overlooked because they can be viewed as weakness. But just like with physical stress, the sooner you notice it and take care of it, the quicker it will heal.
The aim of psychosocial emergency care in the BRH is to provide uncomplicated and quick immediate help to one another within the squadrons. Comradely contacts who have expanded their personal social skills through targeted training in the psychosocial area are available to help the squadron mates, support the managers and, if necessary, are also able to organize further support.
The course “Fundamentals of PSNV for BRH emergency services” offers an opportunity for those interested to deal with the topic and to transport initial impulses and opportunities for support into their own squadron.
The training to become a “BRH PSNV” enables these emergency services to provide a low-threshold offer to promote and support mental health and stability and thus maintain, restore and protect operational capability.
