OAFC Mental Health Screener is an assessment tool in the recruitment of candidates for employment.

We know that job readiness and firefighter performance go beyond physical health to include mental well-being and stress management. With this in mind, we are now offering a Mental Health Screener as an assessment tool in the recruitment of candidates for employment.

While this information may not be predictive of future mental health, it is intended to provide a snapshot of the candidate’s current well-being and identify individuals who may need additional support before starting a career in firefighting. Including a mental health component to candidate testing also emphasizes to individuals the importance and relevance of mental well-being to the fire service.

If you are interested in adding this to your recruitment process and would like more information, please contact Shelley Molica at shelley.molica@oafc.on.ca
