The Calls You Don't See: Trauma On The Frontline


Listen Later

Trauma and grief. Homelessness and grief. Addiction and grief. Domestic violence and grief. I see connections between unresolved grief and all of the issues our first responders face every single day. It’s one of the reasons collaboration is crucial. 

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, Jenn Holm , the Police Social Worker Coordinator (PSWC) for the Traverse City Police Department, is joining me for a powerful conversation. Jenn is a dual-licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), with additional credentials in sign language interpreting and teaching. Her previous experience with both macro and clinical social work impacts her systemic and individual approaches to social work services.

She developed and now facilitates the TCPD RESILIENCE Program. The goal of her position is to reduce law enforcement calls on vulnerable populations by interrupting the cycle of arrest and addiction through care coordination and reduction of community barriers.
