We must take care of all aspects of our life when it comes to wellness. This includes our spiritual development. This is certainly true for people in recovery, but is true for everyone no matter what their profession.
Ever wondered how spirituality can play a role in wellness, especially for those in high-stress jobs like law enforcement? In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', Michael Van Meter sits down with Chaplain Dan Vickey from Ohio ASSIST to explore this very topic.
With years of experience working with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies, Vickey sheds light on how spiritual practices can help officers cope with trauma, isolation, and the daily challenges of their demanding roles. They discuss the significance of programs like Post Critical Incident Seminars, which provide a safe space for officers to reflect on their experiences and find support.
Vickey also touches on the urgent issue of suicide prevention, particularly noting the troubling rise in suicides among young people. Throughout their conversation, he offers practical advice on fostering spiritual resilience and underscores the importance of seeking out resources and support. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that wellness encompasses all aspects of our lives, and that spirituality can be a vital component in the journey to recovery and resilience.
