THE ASSOCIATION

European Association of Firefighter Psychology

association

Our association is an international scientific network. Its purpose is to pool knowledge in the area of psychology applied to fire and rescue services.


It is open to psychologists of all specialties (organizational, social, clinical, neuropsychology, etc.), but also to firefighters, rescue workers, emergency medical technicians, doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, prevention advisors, social and associative actors, researchers, students, whether they come from civil security or professional risk organizations or are also interested in human factors in emergency settings, and more specifically fire rescue.


This network aims for the best possible understanding of psychology in emergency and disaster situations through the sharing of experiences, research and training. Our object of study is the psychology of first responders in the exercise of their missions.
