Join me as I connect with now retired Inspector Stephen Gloade. Stephen is one of a few Indigenous RCMP members that made it to the commissioned ranks within the RCMP.

Stephen recounts what the journey looked like in regards to recognizing that his own personal Mental Health was degrading due to years of service as a Police Officer. Stephen acknowledges that his journey became so dark at one point that suicide a part of the thought process. There is no shame in this as Stephen sought help and began to understand what he was suffering from. Stephen began to learn about the very real impacts of PTSD and the cost to service life; however, recounts some of the very personal stories from his experience from a positioned in senior management with the RCMP.

Stephen also acknowledges that his life is continually improving and shares what his life now looks like as his healing journey continues.

Join us as Stephen takes the time to share what he learned about his journey and how he continues to want to serve others to ensure others stay well in the journey of life.
