Ep 53 - Mindbase
In the world of first responders, the most pernicious affliction is that of the slow build-up of trauma over the course of a career. There are many times where those in this profession not only don't get the help they need for it, but in many cases don't even realize they have a growing disease. This trauma can manifest itself in ruined relationships with family and friends, depression, anxiety, and outbursts of anger or sorrow. But there has been great progress made in the fight against this by recognizing the damage years of trauma can cause to a person. Versatem Mindbase has developed a program to help identify when first responders begin to accumulate trauma so that they can get the help they need. Join your host Erica this week as we discuss this exciting new program. Special guests this week are retired Dallas Police Assistant Chief Reuben Ramirez and Mindbase CEO Corey Roberts.
