In this episode, we sit down with Heather Gates, a chaplain for the Galveston Police Department. Heather's fresh take on this traditional role has been so effective that the city of Galveston recognized and funded her role to ensure she keeps up the amazing work. Work that looks a little different than what you might expect. She shares how she navigates the layers of trauma in supporting law enforcement while experiencing scenes herself, the power of simply being present and the work required to cultivate that presence, building trust while pioneering a new role and so much more. You won't want to miss the wealth of this conversation with "boots on the ground" social worker and chaplain, Heather Gates.
