This episode I had the privilege to sit down with the courageous wife of a law enfocement officer, Danielle, who gives a broad overview of some of what our first responders are dealing with quietly, behind closed doors. We also discuss the possible benefits of plant based medicine therapy, such as cannabis. First responder agencies, whether it be the fire department, police department or a hospital are doing a perfect job regarding their employee's mental health, but some are doing nothing. There is no industry standard. The most important part of mental health is talking about it and destigmatizing the conversation and allow first responders to process the emotions of dealing with constant trauma. Systemically, the culture from within needs to foster a community of open communication instead of making those who have the courage to admit to dealing with mental health issues feel isolated and alone. Unfortunately names of people and departments had to be specifically left out, due to fear of retribuation against the first responders out there doing the work. This conversation, while yes does point out shortcomings, should be seen a teaching moment for agencies to talk to their people, change the culture, find out whats truly going on mentally and build a solid foundation of health and mental wellness.
