Keep the Truth Tellers Around You with Dr. Jennifer Prohaska

This isn’t your typical feel-good chat about mental health. In this brutally honest and refreshingly grounded episode, Dr. Jennifer Prohaska cuts through the fluff with a clear message: we’re focusing on the wrong end of the problem when it comes to wellness in public safety. Dr. Jen explains why organizational dysfunction, not trauma alone, is what’s pushing people out the door—and why even the best therapy can’t fix a toxic culture. If you’re a tired patrol cop at 2 a.m. with earbuds in or a fire chief trying to get your people to stay, this one’s for you.
