Brett & Ava Calman: A police family's battle with PTSD

This episode deals with post traumatic stress disorder and the impact PTSD can have on families. There may be content that is triggering for some.

Brett is a veteran police officer in Ontario, Canada who has spent the majority of his career on patrol. One call in particular, followed by a series of similar calls would threaten everything he understood about himself and change his life and that of his family forever.

On this episode, and in their recently published book, PTSD Road to Recovery,  Brett and his wife Ava share their very personal journey through Brett’s battle and recovery from post traumatic stress disorder. 

We discuss the importance of paying attention to the symptoms; how critical it is to fight for yourself and find the right help; and, Brett and Ava offer advice for other first responder families struggling with unseen injuries.
