This is good news.  Knowledge is power.  Self-Care is key.  Work-Life Balance is a must.

On the street, paramedics might need to insist on breaks.  To ensure recovery between blocks, it's imperative to disconnect completely from the work.  No over-time is worth the potential outcomes:  Depression, Compassion Fatigue, PTSD, Addictions, and for too many, this ends badly with loss of life to suicide.

As BCEHS and BC Ambulance learn to make wellness a priority, a lesson that needs learning is:  Working as a Paramedic is a Role in life.  It is not one's complete identity.  We work, then we go home, and if we've issues brewing with mental health, our families can be our first line of defense.

As the service now addresses mental health with training, I'd ask BCEHS to expand said training to family.  If we as paramedics fall, we often take our family with us, simply due to the reality that we've all lacked the knowledge to keep us safe.

Self Care.  You matter too.  Cheers.
