Join us as we sit down with Greg Grogan from the Overwatch Collective, delving into the heart of supporting our first responder and military community.
Greg, with his wealth of experience in both the military and police force, shines a light on the crucial transition from combat boots to patrol shoes, and the support systems that are the lifeline for those in high-stress roles.
The conversation takes a sobering turn as we confront the mental health battles faced by those who protect us. The birth of the Overwatch Collective from a heartfelt podcast to a thriving nonprofit reveals a story of dedication to breaking the silence on this often-taboo subject. We share heart-wrenching stories that uncover the raw reality of mental health within the first responder sphere, discussing the need for culturally competent therapy and the bravery required to reach out.
This episode is not just an ear to the ground; it's a call to arms for a community that's fighting invisible wars every day.
Wrapping up, we celebrate the Overwatch Collective's growth and the creative fundraising that keeps hope alive, as well as the innovative app that offers a sanctuary for those seeking support without judgment. Recognizing the profound impact on family life, we stress the vital role of including loved ones in these support systems. This isn’t just a talk; it's a movement to make a dent in the universe—one responder, one family, one listener at a time.
