Dr. Angela Porter and Andre Miller are joining Dee Tox and Leslie for an in-depth conversation about recognizing and responding to the signs of struggle in our loved ones, co-workers, and selves. As healthcare workers, military personnel, and first responders, we're often the go-to people for others in crisis, yet our own battles can blind us to the needs of those around us.

This discussion digs into the importance of self-care as a prerequisite for being present and supportive for others. Dr. Porter sheds light on the early warning signs of mental health issues and suggests practical steps for intervention, emphasizing the need for a 'warm handoff' and persistent, genuine engagement. Andre shares his personal journey, highlighting the courage it takes to seek help and the strength found in vulnerability. 


This episode is a call to action for all of us to listen with the intent to understand, to be persistent in our care for others, and to prioritize our well-being. It's a powerful reminder that we're not alone, and that addressing our own issues can make us better helpers and healers in our professional and personal lives.
