We're not doing a great job at helping ourselves because that's difficult...and unfortunately the bottom of the downward spiral in far too many cases is suicide.
Ever wondered how first responders cope with the intense pressures of their job? In this episode of 'The Recovery Mile', host Tommy Morris chats with Joe Collins, a retired first responder who has turned his own struggles with trauma and addiction into a mission to help others. Joe shares his personal story, offering a raw look at the challenges faced by those on the front lines, from military personnel to emergency workers.
He talks about the impact of trauma and the critical need for mental health support within these communities. Joe's journey from hitting rock bottom to finding purpose in helping others is both moving and inspiring. The conversation sheds light on the often overlooked mental health needs of first responders and emphasizes the importance of providing them with the resources and support they deserve.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges faced by those who serve and protect us, and how we can better support their journey to recovery.
