MENtal Health

Podcast

Riggs from the Riggs & Alley morning show on 103.7 KISS-FM in Milwaukee, has a podcast that puts the MEN in mental. 

I was honored to be his guest!

Sit back for 30 minutes and listen to two guys talking about Mental Health, sharing feelings (strange right?), and what is being done to prevent law enforcement suicide. 

TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Police Suicide and Mental Illness

Topics Rarely Discussed in Law Enforcement

Police Officers routinely respond to members of the public who are in crisis.  Written policies and laws dictate exactly how to care for suicidal individuals or those in a mental health crisis.

What are the procedures for how to help Police Officers in crisis?  Why is there a belief that Officers are immune to mental health issues? The Stigma of these topics silences Officers.  Create an environment where it is OK for an Officer to ask for help - TALK 2 END STIGMA!
