Serving the public can often take a toll on police officers and other first responders' mental stability. Thankfully there are many programs and resources available to help with the burden, that is, if they choose to participate. Many don't feel comfortable doing so and Police Captain Adam Meyers is here to explain why. Join us as we continue our conversation about stopping the stigma and encouraging public servants to reach out when they are in need.

First responders are at a much higher risk of experiencing trauma, but sadly are less likely to reach out for mental health support. Adam Meyers experienced this firsthand and is determined to make a change with Stop The Threat - Stop The Stigma, a platform to promote Law Enforcement and Public Safety Professionals' mental wellness, encouraging them to talk about their mental health and not suffer in silence.
