Proposal to Provide Stress Management Support For Missouri’s Firefighters

Missouri is thinking about giving firefighters access to a program to help them deal with traumatic events.

St. Louis Democratic Senator Karla May wants firefighters to have access to the program that law enforcement officers are already given…

Peace officers and firefighters would be required to meet with a service provider once every three-to-five years for a mental health check-in.

No one testified against her bill, which a state Senate committee could soon vote on.
