022 - Surviving My Suicide: Doug Monda, Survive First

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailToday I want to share with you the story of Doug Monda.  Doug was a Florida cop who, after being injured, suddenly had the weight of the job collapse in on him, driving him to despair and, eventually, to putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger.  Doug survived and today he walks us through his compelling story, how he survived, and how he then wanted to build a program that would be better than the mental health journey he went through.Doug now runs a nationally recognized non-profit that helps first responders navigate mental health challenges.  His goal is to teach cops how to survive first.Warning:  This episode contains discussion of suicide attempts.  Listener discretion is advised.Resources:Survive First –  www.survivefirst.usNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 988Copline – 1-800-267-5463Emergencies (in the United States) – 911Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYMusic is by Chris Haugen and by Winking Fox MusicHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 022Support the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
