We want to hear from you!

As the 2025 wildfire season comes to a start in Alberta, the Forestry Division is beginning an initiative to support the mental health needs of both our full-time staff, and seasonal employees. This initiative will include psychological supports on-site for type 1 events, with additional supports of other incidents and events, as well as a project to enhance mental health supports beyond our active wildfire season.

To help us better serve you, we would like your input on our existing resources, along with your thoughts on ways we can strengthen our mental health program. Your feedback is strictly anonymous. Data being collected by the mental health professionals at Wayfound Mental Health Group.
