You’re Not Alone: A Message From a Police Mom
Welcome to Fight in Progress!
We are joined, by Police Mom, Carol Carlson, author of "Life as a Police Mom: Guidance and support for mothers of police officers from behind the THIN BLUE LINE". Carol has dedicated herself to providing comfort and a voice for families of officers while also linking them with resources.
Police officers today face dangers at every turn, from auto accidents and shootings to psychological trauma and suicide, leaving their mothers wondering what to do with their worries and fears. In Life as a Police Mom, Carol Carlson, walks us through police life, from the academy days and the changes and challenges that come with the job, to the worst nightmares that hide in the dark crevices of a mother’s mind. She offers information, insight, understanding, and compassion to help every police mom find strength and comfort throughout her officer’s career.

Description:
Fight in Progress with Susan Simons aims to discuss problems and difficulties our officers face every day from sleep deprivation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and adrenal fatigue, to depression, isolation, physical illnesses, emotional distress, divorce and all too often suicide. Fight in Progress looks to cover these topics and discuss their solutions to help these warriors navigate these threats through education and preparation. We speak to experts, officers and their families from around the country to have hard discussions on what challenges this community faces, and what we can do to strengthen our men and women in law enforcement.
