The Resilient First Responder

Well, Well, Well - Let's Talk with the MHA Wellness Coaches


Listen Later

Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio is pleased to offer a number of wellness coaches for first responder agencies, behavioral health organizations, and other caregiving agencies. These coaches work on-site at the agencies or through Zoom calls so they can be available to participants when the time is right.

Rich talks with three of the many MHA coaches on the wellness coaching team:

  • Shelby Pressley, Wellness Education Coordinator
  • Phil Rodarte
  • Marquis Brookins

They share ideas and views on finding balance when the stress of the job, life, and even our own perceptions of ourselves may cause us to fall away from activities that help us to achieve resilience. The SAMHSA Eight Dimensions of Wellness are discussed.

At the close of the show, Rich shares two June events being offered by MHA:

  • First Responder Mini Retreat at New Day Ranch
  • Mentally Tougher for First Responders with Michael Sherman
