ep.19 "THE STIGMA"
Join me as we review statistics from recent studies on first responder mental health and suicide. I do get a little emotional on this one as I myself try to comprehend the numbers from these studies. Remember to reach out for help if needed, lets work together to "Change the Status Quo"!

ep. 18 "After the Last Call"
After spending years with the same department and with the same people what happens after? what happens after the resignation letter has been signed and sent and the turnout gear has been hung up for the last time?
