We want people that are working for a treatment facility to be culturally competent to what we've gone through, what we've seen, so on and so forth, but not be so fixated on those things to say that these are the reasons why you are who you are- it may have nothing to do with that- and be able to set back.
Ever thought about the silent battles first responders face every day? In this episode of The Banyan Podcast, Alyssa sits down with Jason Patton from Fire Department Chronicles to shine a light on the mental health struggles of those who are always there to protect us. They dive into the high rates of mental health disorders among first responders and discuss the stigma that often prevents these heroes from seeking the help they need.
Jason shares candid stories and insights from his experience, highlighting the importance of culturally competent treatment and the resources available to support these brave individuals. They also touch on how addiction and mental health issues ripple through families, stressing the power of vulnerability and the courage it takes to ask for help. This episode isn't just informative; it's a heartfelt reminder that even our strongest protectors need support.
Tune in for a compassionate conversation that underscores the importance of mental health care in our communities.
