First responders face immense challenges, especially when it comes to mental health and PTSD.

In this powerful episode, guest Andrew Douglas, a firefighter and co-creator of a resource for first responders struggling with PTSD, shares his personal experiences and insights into the importance of addressing these issues within the law enforcement and firefighting communities.

Together, we explore the emotional toll of working in emergency services, the need for self-care and support systems, and the potential benefits of using innovative tools like the Siento app to help manage PTSD symptoms.
