Ladies and Gentlemen, Episode 13 is live -  And it's the perfect follow up to our show with Gary Atteberry... Now we get the clinician's point of view of how to confront some the issues we face, avoiding a clinical case of the "F*** its", and some of the tools that we can add to the toolbox when it comes to mental health!

Mynda Ohs, PhD. has been providing Critical Incident Debriefings, counseling services, instructing, and has been a  guest presenter at numerous conferences. She has worked several critical incidents involving police and fire departments, including the recent Montecito Mudslides, providing support and education to all fire departments present, Law enforcement and the Incident Management Team 3.  Additional incidents she provided professional support to are: The Las Vegas shooting, several LODD for the Forest Service as well as local law enforcement...

She played a major debriefing role of first responders to the San Bernardino Terrorist Shooting.  Additionally, she comes with the experience of working in the EMS field as an EMT for 4 years and an emergency room technician.  Not only does she have over 14 years of experience working in the field of crisis intervention and suicide prevention, but has been married to a Battalion Chief for over 22 years.  This has given her a unique perspective of living within the first responder community and family, while adding to her education and professional experiences. 

Mynda even has wrote the book (in my opinion, and literally) on being in a relationship with a firefighter! Be SURE to pick up her book "Fully Involved" if you are married too, or plan on getting married too a firefighter...
