Public Safety comprises approximately 1.4% of the U.S. population, yet a career in this line of work can expose each individual, on average, to 188 critical and traumatic incidents. These incidents leave their mark on each individual just as it does on someone who chooses not to work in public safety, but at a much higher rate. So, how do these professionals keep doing what scars and traumatizes most people? Studies show that while some find healthy ways to cope with what is experienced, many will develop poor behavioral conditions, thus prolonging the trauma caused by the event.  It is through the use of Critical and Traumatic Stress Debriefing that studies have shown to help break the stigma of mental health in public safety and create a better environment for those employed in that career to be able to continue the work they love by helping others. So join us with our special guest Captain Pete Hossalla as we discuss Critical and Traumatic Stress Debriefing.

For many, talks of mental health concerns are typically applied to the general population and how best to help them manage their everyday lives or a crisis they may be experiencing. But, what about the mental health of those we task with the responsibility of caring for us in our time of need? What about the mental health of those individuals that work in public safety and who are subjected to things that the general population will likely never encounter? These individuals work in an environment where they are exposed to traumatic and stressful events nearly every shift and it's all too easy to forget that they are people too. Join us in the conversation as we cover Mental Health in Public Safety.

As a teenage boy, I had a lot of fun, it just wasn't always the best way to have fun.

So log in, sit down and join the conversation as I take you for another walk down memory lane.
