We need help, we need each other, we need to talk about it.
Ever wondered what it takes to transition from a high-stress career in law enforcement to becoming a mental health advocate? In this compelling episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Michael Sugrue, a former Security Forces Officer in the United States Air Force and Walnut Creek Police Department Sergeant. Michael’s career was packed with intense roles like global force protection and anti-terrorism, but the weight of these responsibilities eventually took a toll on his mental health.
After a heroic act earned him the Walnut Creek PD Distinguished Service Medal, Michael faced administrative betrayal that led him down a difficult path of mental health struggles. Now medically retired, Michael dedicates his life to raising awareness about Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) and first responder suicide prevention. He volunteers at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat and serves as an Ambassador for Save A Warrior.
In this episode, Michael opens up about his personal battles and the crucial role of support groups in his recovery journey. His story underscores the importance of talking about trauma and seeking help, especially for veterans and first responders. Tune in to hear how empathy and understanding can transform lives, and join the movement to Chase The Vase.
