Four top-scoring toolkits
| Toolkit name | Variable | Mean | Representative comments regarding toolkit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Care4Guide [39] |
• “Useful, mostly engaging exercises. Lots of activities… This resource really feels like it ‘gets’ what it’s like to be a young first responder.” • “Would be good as a baseline with some additional modules focused on the marine/SLSA environment.” • “This seems to be really helpful, being geared specifically to young first responders and teaching resilience strategies, coping mechanisms etc.” |

| Build Your Space[46] |
• “Specifically aimed at young people. Well known and highly regarded organisation providing the information which gives it credibility.” • “A barrier would be needing to sign up (although, it would be impossible to otherwise make it so individualised) and I’m not sure how applicable it would be in a first response sense, but otherwise it would probably be very helpful.” • “Even though there were many, many topics available, I was surprised to see very little relating to trauma specifically.” |

| Smiling Mind[45] |
• “Would aid in mindfulness post critical incident which for some young people would find helpful.” • “More accessible than the other resources and information is easier to digest.” • “Good as a follow up to any training but not [as a] stand alone [resource].” |

| Community Trauma Toolkit[40] | • “Focussing on young people and on traumatic events is obviously relevant. Although it’s not geared towards supporting first responders and their specific [needs], it is important to know for engaging with the community after these events and I would think knowing the information would have some benefits for the first responders.” | ||
