Ep. 16: Courage Casts - Reaching Out vs Reaching In

In this episode of The Courage to Live, Josh Bitsko speaks openly about one of the hardest topics in policing and in life, suicide. Josh shares the story of losing his brother Jason, the guilt and anger that followed, and how those emotions shaped his understanding of what real support looks like. Drawing from personal experience and years in law enforcement, he explains why telling people to “reach out” often falls short and why “reaching in” can save lives. With practical insight on spotting warning signs, asking better questions, and breaking through stigma, this is an honest conversation about courage, loss, and hope for anyone who wants to help those they care about.
