It follows an integrative and preventative medicine philosophy which emphasizes holistic practices as key to overall wellness and a focus on addressing issues proactively rather than after a medical or psychological condition has developed.<\/p>\n<p>The First Responder Wellness Assessment is designed for first responders in assessing wellness behaviors. This is a self-report measure completed by the first responder, which then produces a profile of wellness behaviors and related feedback. It serves as an educational tool to drive productive attention to wellness issues and to guide first responders on areas of strength and areas where improvements can be made.<\/p>\n<p>This instrument is designed to be used by mental health professionals, chaplains, or other professionals working actively with a first responder on wellness issues. It serves as an educational tool to drive productive conversation around wellness issues.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Assessment Areas<\/h2>\n<p>This instrument covers what are considered to be key areas of wellness to include mind, body, and spirit. Each section is broken into various subsections so as to provide more granular data to explore within each section. There is also a behavioral adherence section which focuses on specific practices that increase the likelihood of compliance with wellness behaviors.<\/p>\n<h3>Sections and subsections include:<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drazardickens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Body<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Metabolic Health<\/li>\n<li>Nutritional Health<\/li>\n<li>Physical Activity<\/li>\n<li>Sleep Hygiene and Health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Mind<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Purpose<\/li>\n<li>Coping Skills<\/li>\n<li>Emotional Agility\/Resilience<\/li>\n<li>Self-Awareness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Spirit<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Faith<\/li>\n<li>Care of the Soul<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Behavioral Adherence<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Perceived Benefit<\/li>\n<li>Goal Setting<\/li>\n<li>Self-Monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Support<\/li>\n<li>Barrier Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drazardickens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"807\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Score Comparisons<\/h2>\n<p>The instrument also provides a comparison of individual first responder behaviors to others in the same profession, as well as in comparison with all first responder professions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drazardickens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Behavior Health Risk Indicators<\/h2>\n<p>A final section addresses behavioral health risk indicators, which identify specific first responder feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that may serve as warning signs for potential problem areas.
