Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health and Addiction in First Responders

Without pain, we would never get stronger. That's what saved my life, you know, Years Ago.
Ever wondered what it takes to break the stigma around mental health in the first responder community? In this episode of the Finding Strength Podcast, Matt Quackenbush teams up with his good friend Jordan Lee and Josh Adams, Chief of the Orem Police Department, for a heartfelt discussion. Matt shares his recent efforts with Deer Hollow Recovery to tackle PTSD and mental health issues head-on. You'll hear about his latest presentations and the impact they're making locally in Utah.
The trio dives deep into the subjects of judgment, shame, and vulnerability, shedding light on how trauma therapy can be a game-changer. They offer a treasure trove of tools and information that can benefit everyone, not just first responders. If you're looking for practical advice on overcoming guilt and shame or curious about how post-traumatic growth can help you find value in pain, this episode is a must-listen.
The conversation also touches on the effects of sexual abuse within law enforcement and the ongoing research aimed at addressing it. Matt's disciplined approach to staying well is both motivating and insightful, offering listeners valuable tips for maintaining wellness in challenging environments.
