Following extensive collaborative research between members of the SAR community, including those who are members of the IMRF and those are not, the IMRF compiled its official #SARyouOK? Guidance document in February 2024. The core of the guidance is structured around the 'Prepare, Normalise, Support' approach to help manage stress and trauma among SAR personnel. The guidance also emphasises the need for an organisational commitment to mental health and wellbeing, including organisational culture, good working conditions and having clear policies and procedures in place.
