*S5M-21823 David Torrance: Firefighter Tackles Mental Health Stigma—That the Parliament commends the efforts of the firefighter, Paul MacFarlane, to help save lives by breaking down the stigma often associated with mental health issues and training others to become potential life savers; notes that Paul, who is a qualified mental health first aid instructor based at Kirkcaldy Fire Station, has already trained over 500 people and hopes to create a “recovery community” within his own watch and provide firefighters with skills they can use to help themselves and others; acknowledges the invaluable efforts of Paul, both in this role and in his previous post working with the NHS in which he helped to support those living with mental health challenges and contributed to shaping government policy around the subject; further notes that this is just one of many initiatives being undertaken by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, both at a corporate level and by individuals, to help others during the COVID-19 crisis; praises the actions of Paul, his colleagues at Kirkcaldy Fire Station, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as they work to increase recognition of the importance of good mental health and wellbeing, and wishes them all the very best for the future.
