The trauma part... it's not so much taking the life, it's the people you work for, the town you work in, the media, all these variables that come at you.
Ever wondered how the pressures of police work can affect mental health and addiction? In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', hosts Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr. dive into the book 'Good Cop, Good Cop' by Brian Casey. The discussion sheds light on the often-overlooked trauma faced by police officers and its impact on their mental health and addiction struggles.
Mike, a retired officer himself, brings a unique perspective to the table, sharing his own experiences and observations from the field. The conversation doesn't stop at the book; it also extends to the first responders program at Genesis House, which offers specialized support for those in uniform battling addiction. Mike celebrates a personal milestone of 32 years of sobriety, adding a heartfelt touch to the episode.
Whether you're in law enforcement or have a loved one who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the challenges and support systems available for first responders. Tune in for a candid conversation that blends personal stories with practical advice on recovery.
