Episode notes
In this powerful episode of Solo Spotlight, Ryan sits down with Alberta Sheriff and mental health advocate Jerry Galliford, the founder of the Alberta First Responders Association (AFRA).
From oil and gas layoffs to corrections and now sheriffs, Jerry’s journey into public service is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and purpose. What started as a peer-driven apparel initiative called Code 9 Canada has now grown into a non-profit that supports thousands of frontline workers with training, peer support, and mental health advocacy.
