Former Police Chief: Wellness Can’t Be Optional Anymore

In this episode of The First Responder Wellness Podcast, Chris Logan sits down with Chris Catren, former Chief of Police and Director of Strategic Relationships at First Responder Wellness.After nearly 30 years in law enforcement, Chris Catren had seen the job from every angle: officer, detective, supervisor, chief, and department leader. But when he first toured First Responder Wellness, he admits he came in skeptical.He had a hard time believing that first responders were really opening up, sharing honestly, and getting the help they needed. Then he saw it for himself.In this conversation, Chris shares his path into law enforcement, the lessons he learned as a leader, how his view of wellness and peer support changed, and why departments can no longer treat mental health as an “extra”.This episode is a powerful reminder that wellness is not just a policy, a poster, or a box to check. It is people helping people survive a very difficult career.For confidential support, or simply to learn more with no commitment, contact us:https://frhealth.com/888-443-4898
