A Lifeline for First Responders: Mental Health and Suicide Prevention with Jeremy Hurd

I have often said this is, if your job is what you're worried about, you not getting help is what's really going to place your job at risk. Not getting help is what's going to put it more at risk.
Ever wonder how our First Responders cope with the immense pressures of their job? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter sits down with EMS Captain and Chaplain Jeremy Hurd to tackle the tough subject of mental health and suicide among those on the front lines. Jeremy opens up about his own experiences and the critical need for mental health support in high-stress professions.
He delves into the coping mechanisms that can make a world of difference and the importance of reaching out for help. Jeremy also highlights how Fire Departments, Police Departments, and municipalities can create supportive environments to aid their staff. This conversation is packed with practical advice and resources, making it an essential listen for anyone affected by these issues. As Jeremy puts it, 'not getting help is what's really going to place your job at risk'.
Tune in for a compassionate, informative discussion that could be a lifeline for you or someone you care about.
