Paramedics concerned about cost of P-T-S-D course

The Paramedic Association of New Brunswick is worried that the new trauma resilience course at UNB isn’t feasible for paramedics with P-T-S-D.

It costs $4000 and takes seven months. Association President Phil Comeau told CBC 25% of first-responders have mental health issues.  He’s wondering how it’ll be funded for those who can’t afford it.
