Episode #145 - Advocating for Comprehensive Mental Health Support for First Responders and Veterans

How do you provide effective mental health support to first responders? That's the question we tackle head-on as we sit down with Dr. Pam Arnell, executive director 2020. This trailblazing program offers a non-invasive, non-clinical approach to therapy. Dr. Arnell opens up about her passionate commitment to the cause and shares her personal experiences with 2020, providing a firsthand account of how this unique program positively impacts first responders.

In our exploration of mental health, we highlight the extraordinary efforts of 22 Zero, a non-profit organization that aims to curb suicide rates among veterans and first responders. Dr. Arnell, who also founded 22 Zero, gives us an insider's perspective on the organization's operations, its peer-to-peer coaching program, and how it offers free, confidential support for veterans, first responders, and their families. We also share our personal stories, revealing how 22 Zero has been a beacon of hope for us and our loved ones.

But, we don't stop there. We further discuss the profound importance of culturally competent support for first responders and veterans, underscoring the transformative impact of the 22 Zero program. You'll learn about the 22 Zero documentary that showcases this transformation and understand the healing protocols based on NLP that are helping individuals overcome post-traumatic stress. Finally, we share ways you can support 22 Zero through donations and participation in their upcoming events. If you have any questions or need support, please don't hesitate to contact us or 22 Zero directly. Remember, your iTunes, Apple Podcasts and Spotify reviews help us reach more listeners.
