Today we sat with Dallas Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Morse to discuss the origins of the Dallas District Attorney’s Office new approach to caring for their own.

Jennifer and a team at the DA’s office saw a need to create something to provide support for their staff in the world of mental wellness and to address, head on, the trauma that they are exposed to.

Police and the District Attorney’s Office work as partners to help give justice to victims of crimes as they prepare each case to be presented before a court of law.

The exposure to violence and trauma is real…the exposure to the stress of carefully prepping a case is real….

Combing over mountains of evidence, graphic photos and videos, speaking with the victims and their families, and game planning against defense attorneys is part of the every day prosecution world and all the stress and anxiety that can accompany it.

Finding Freedom Therapy and ATO counselor Amanda Noyes sits in to cohost to lend her expertise on this topic.

Next time you hear us will be Episode 100……..
