It's about awareness and recognition before the snowball turns into an avalanche- it's being able to recognize- and that comes from being aware of self at all times- and the conversations, conferences, and peer support are helping people become more aware of just how human they really are underneath the uniform.
Ever wondered how first responders cope with the immense stress they face daily? In this episode of 'Rescue the Rescuer', host Michael Sugrue sits down with married Sheriff Deputies Shawn and Jeff Thomas to talk about mental health, peer support, and wellness among first responders. With over two decades of experience each, Shawn and Jeff have seen it all.
They share their journey from dealing with personal challenges to founding First Responder Conferences in 2016, an initiative designed to support the mental well-being of their peers. Shawn, an explosive detection K9 handler, and Jeff, a seasoned SWAT team member, discuss the unique pressures of their roles and how these conferences have been making a difference. From offering peer support to tackling PTSD and addiction, this episode sheds light on the vital resources available for those in high-stress jobs.
You'll hear about the impact of their work on personal relationships and the importance of self-care. If you're interested in understanding the real-life struggles and solutions for first responders, this conversation is a must-listen.
