First responders face immense pressure daily, and the toll on their mental health can be significant. In this episode of 'Rescue the Rescuer', host Michael Sugrue sits down with Steve Redmond, the founder of Code 4 Northwest, to discuss how we can better support these everyday heroes, especially when they're off-duty.
Steve, a seasoned officer with over 26 years at Seattle PD, shares his personal journey through crisis and how it led him to create a crisis line for first responders and their families in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. He emphasizes the need to change the culture around seeking help, urging early intervention to prevent issues from escalating.
Steve's experiences and insights shed light on the importance of peer support and resources like Code 4 Northwest in helping first responders navigate their mental health challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the unique pressures faced by first responders and how we can all play a part in supporting their wellness.
