Our first patch has arrived! Thanks to Anthony Lancelotti from Providence, Rhode Island Fire Department. Send us a patch! We’d love to add it to the wall. Send us an email at help@friendsinrecoveyrpodcast.com Jersey Ed’s Podcast Pick of the Week: Your Oxygen Mask First - Host Erin Yeung is a wife, a mother, and a 9-1-1 Dispatcher. Her podcast touches on topics in resiliency, mental health and wellness, and professional development for public safety professionals. https://www.youroxygenmaskfirst.com/podcast https://www.facebook.com/youroxygenmaskfirst/ First responder safety and prevention trainings are so important. You wear your body armor, your protective gear, etc. - but what protects your mind? Our special guest Jon Sanders joins us from Sioux Falls Fire Rescue of South Dakota. He shares that we have made huge progress in protecting ourselves physically, but have a long way to go in terms of protecting our mind and spirit. The culture of the First Responder Community is complicated, since the same traits that lead us to the calling may also discourage us from addressing mental health concerns. Courageousness and independence serve us well on the job, but may prevent us from seeking help when we need it. Peer support enables First Responders to take the first step, to acknowledge that it’s okay not to be okay, and to start the conversation that leads to healing. “Do you know why God created firefighters? So cops can have heroes, too!” If you are in recovery, Jersey Ed recommends checking out Episode 51: Surrounded by Sleepwalkers of the Fire Inside Podcast.
