Episode notes
Clinical Psychologist Dr. Kira Mauseth unpacks many of the behavioral issues with first responders. She talks about what peer support teams could do, the importance of setting boundaries and knowing when a peer supporter should be looking to listen vs looking to fix. Dr. Mauseth asks everyone the rhetorical question: How much time and hours are you spending in restorative care and recovery vs. escaping and avoiding your problems. She emphasizes that leaders of all ranks must walk the talk when talking and prioritizing behavioral and mental health of first responders.
