Another day, another superstar.  James Maskey is a passionate lived experience and stigma reduction professional, striving to enhance the mental, personal and social wellbeing of the emergency services community. James is also a retired front-line Queensland Police Officer with a service history including General Duties and the Child Protection & Investigation Unit. In 2013, James was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Since this time, James has been a consumer of the Queensland and Victorian mental health systems.   To tackle stigma and improve help-seeking behaviours in the emergency services sector, James is inspired to bring the voice of the lived experience community front and centre. In this episode James shares his personal encounters and management of his own PTSD experience along with his world record performances in ultra-marathon running.  The lad holds several awards for his tireless work and in the area of emergency services mental health and reducing the stigma and I'm awarding him with being an EPIC guest on my show.
