The New Zealand Firefighters Welfare Society would like to highlight the recent announcement regarding a significant Movember grant awarded to a group of NZ firefighters to develop and evaluate a program to improve firefighter wellbeing. The Whanaungatanga Program, which will initially be piloted in Auckland and Whangarei, will provide a process for identifying organisational factors that contribute to distress and distrust and also provide a process for the development of interventions aimed at eliminating or minimising these factors. You can find out more about the program here.​

2021 Firefighters Welfare Society Survey

Read the results here including the good, the bad and the ugly and  see the improvements we're already working on.
