Fire Service Psychology Association

The association provides professional education, research initiatives, peer consultation, and support for integrating psychology into fire departments. Monthly peer consultation meetings serve providers working with firefighter populations, while virtual consultations help fire safety officers develop and implement departmental behavioral health programs with a licensed psychologist present. It also offers membership, collaboration, and professional development opportunities for psychologists, master's-level clinicians, and fire service leaders. Its work addresses fire service culture, cumulative psychological trauma, and evidence-based care for firefighters and their families. The association seeks to develop the specialty of fire service psychology and advance the scientific study and application of psychology to fire service needs. It is based in South Pasadena and serves members across the United States and beyond.
