Lesson 6: Training Matters

Beaton commented that improved training of job-specific tasks enhanced mental health and resilience (Beaton and Johnson, 2002). He cited a study of canine handlers involved in the 9/11 rescue-and-recovery effort that found that canine handlers who had more training were less likely to suffer from PTSD (Alvarez and Hunt, 2005). Increased training increased confidence of responders. Beaton noted that many organizations that engage in disaster response drills and exercises are building resilience in their workforces (Beaton et al., 2004).
