UFFW has recently entered into a mental health, peer appreciation partnership with the Winnipeg football club. This not only provides year-round mental health messages shared by professional football players, which are mutually shared with UFFW social media, but it also allows members to nominate their peers in recognition of selfless acts, particularly regarding mental health wellness of each other. We are very proud of this partnership and feel strongly that giving the members the ability to nominate each other for the fantastic game day experience will only nurture and encourage supporting each other with mental health struggles.
UFFW also routinely puts out updates and station memos. Often within our messaging, we encourage members to put their health and their families first. This may mean turning down lucrative overtime opportunities, requesting transfers to quieter stations or simply reaching out and talking to peers when facing some adversity.
