Episode #2 with Bryan Hood

The Peer Support Podcast has been created out of a need recognized in promoting mental health in first responders. The idea that cumulative trauma over years of exposure to events often bring effects of behavioral health disorders, PTSD, and suicide that is higher than the civilian population.   This is inclusive to firefighters, emergency medical services, emergency dispatchers, and law enforcement. Sharing what is viewed as a very sensitive and widely discussed topic, it is our goal to help reduce stigma, encourage growth as a result of the experiences occurred and improve education of first responders. Peer Support has quickly become the new normal and the development of programs has been noticed. 

The philosophy behind defeating stigma that is often associated with suicide and mental health revolves around having honest discussion, dialogue that promotes understanding, and learning management practices that will improve life at all levels. 

Once learning and knowing that not only were we made to endure these terrible tragedies but also to propel first responders to the high status for the service performed. These same characteristics are what allow first responders the ability to perform under often austere conditions. These traits must be understood and harnessed for the good that they serve. 

The Peer Support Podcast is directed to first responders, firefighters, emergency medical services, police, law enforcement, and the spouses of all that serve. The Peer Support Podcast is also tasked to provide insight and inspire thoughts about the symptoms and affects of the job. The Peer Support Podcast will further provide feedback and input to other peer support teams that undoubtedly face many of the same challenges that our own team has faced and managed. Likewise it is our intent to improve the level of service that we provide to members of our own department through the education and advancement of knowledge in the subject of behavioral health, post traumatic growth, and prevention of suicide among all first responders
