Mark Vesper and Steve Sargent are two men who have identified a need in their community and that is the dedication to allowing men a place to bond and show their Suffering - not to fix or highlight their struggle but to walk along side of one another.  Their support group Band of Brothers (BOB) has been in operation for 16 years and is getting stronger every year.  Men are taught to live by a code but never instructed on how to deal with certain emotions.  Band of Brothers fulfills that need by allowing men a safe space to see that there are others around with the same dents who can offer support.  This episode is impactfully and thoughtful while still giving us the need to bond as men.

Michael Dowd has lived a storied life that has been well documented in the documentary “The Seven-Five”.  The self proclaimed dirtiest Cop in NY has taken his fall very hard serving 12 years in federal Prison for crimes committed while being a member of the NYPD in the 80’s and 90’s.  His candid and energetic approach to the telling of his tale holds nothing back.  He owns it!  This rare characteristic is why Mike is so important to the world of Law Enforcement.  The telling of his tale is put out there as a road map on how to avoid the same trapping that ensnared him.  Mike is now writing his next chapter in his life to give back to a community that is in need of his candor and experience.  This is a riveting and exciting episode that is a must listen.

The Conclusion to the Blue Magazine's Blue Camping Law Enforcement and Friends Mental Health Retreat culminates in two amazing discussions with America's Sheriff David Clarke from Milwaukee Wisconsin and Therapist Ana Pais.  Sheriff Clarke is a voice of reason in a chaotic world.  His experience in Law Enforcement and willingness to stand by his values is a rare characteristic in this current society.  Sheriff Clarke is a staunch advocate of Police Wellness and Police pride.  Therapist Ana Pais know the pains of treating Police mental health as she is married to an Officer and sees that stress and trauma first hand.  Her compassion and willingness to devote her practice to the mental health of First Responders comes from her unique insight on the world that those who work in a life of service endure.

On this very special Remote podcast for The Blue Magazine's Moment of Silence Blue Camping Law Enforcement & Friends Mental Health Retreat, we sit down with a true Savior for Police, Dr. Eugene Stefanelli.  In practice for nearly half a century, Dr. Stefanelli has seen it all, especially the trauma that Police go through on a daily basis.  This man's compassion and understanding is a testament to those mental health professionals that truly specialize and strive to understand their patients, Dr. Stef has chosen to focus on combatting the stigma behind a profession that has the highest rate of Suicide, Law Enforcement.  Personally, Dr. Stefanelli is the main reason that The Suffering Podcast exists as well as the lives of both hosts.

On this 20th Anniversary of the tragedy that was September 11th 2001, we pay homage to this mutual Suffering that we endured collectively as a nation with a rare Hero of the recovery, retired NYC Firefighter Billy Bartholomew.  Billy had a front row seat to the carnage of that day digging through the wreckage actively searching for survivors and the deceased.  His courage resulted in Cancer due to the recovery efforts.  His attitude is that of a true warrior, choosing to never give into the Suffering and fighting his cancer head on.  While his actions are the definition of what a hero is, Billy’s humble attitude doesn’t allow him to recognize how we see him.  Listen to this story and keep our collective promise to never forget.
