Tennessee Addresses EMS Retention With Dedicated Mental Health Curriculum

When the Tennessee EMS Board unanimously approved the statewide Mental Health Curriculum in June 2025, it marked a deliberate shift in how the state prepares and supports its EMS workforce. The decision wasn’t simply an educational update; it was a recognition that the profession’s longstanding cultural norms—strength, stoicism, and self‑sacrifice—are unsustainable in the face of cumulative trauma, burnout, and post‑COVID workforce instability.

Stopping the revolving door of providers starts with Day One education on the job’s expectations and managing stress from the start.
