Retired Deputy Sheriff Stephen Balcano describes life on the front lines
The mental health support for First Responders needs to be greatly improved. First responders are at a greater risk for PTSD and suicide than most other occupations due to the trauma they witness every day. They face life or death on any given day and witness horrific situations. The need for resources and support for them has never been greater.
Stephen Balcano is a retired Deputy Sheriff who openly discusses his experiences while on active duty. He painstakingly details the day he lost one of his "brothers in blue," and acknowledges the lasting effects of that trauma on many of his friends on the force. Stephen explains how difficult it is for police officers, or any First Responders to ask for help and says it needs to be a safe place outside of the system where they can get help.
He is putting his experience to good use as, after being trained, he is now a coach on the Youturn Health platform. No doubt he will help many of his peers along the way.
