034. "Mental Health and First Responders" with Sean Wyman

Public Safety Professionals are killing themselves more than the people they encounter daily in their profession. As a Public Safety Professional this is devastating and unacceptable.

The problem is Public Safety Professionals do not get a lot of training when it comes to dealing with social emotional issues. As a Police Officer, I learned to shoot, drive, fight, enforce laws and protect citizens but I never learned about the social emotional impact trauma has on my family and I over my career.

When I discovered trauma informed care and applied it to my job and my personal life, I realized this training is needed across our industry.

I found the right partnerships and created Going Beyond The Call Mental Health Fitness for Public Safety Professionals. I want to reduce Public Safety suicides dramatically over the next 5 years. Lt. Colonel David Grossman wrote the foreword for our book and had this to say:

"One of the most important books (and programs) of our time. A hidden impact, a stigmatized secret that overshadows the men and women who sacrifice every day. With this training and these tactics for wellness, we can stop the tragic statistics to these professions.

Going Beyond the Call is an action plan for the magnificent individuals who “go beyond the call” every day, and for our very civilization, to survive and thrive amid death and darkness.

We must begin a process, a movement, a revolution, a culture shift in training in which every first responder is well equipped with the information in this vital book and training."
