Saving the Lives of Those Who Save Ours - with Dr. Michael Marks

Other than when we need to call 911, how often do we imagine the toll it takes on the lives of those whose job it is to save our own? More relevant than ever these variable and volatile times call upon those who remain steadfast on the front lines of caring for our citizens no matter what. Listen in while Dr. Michael Marks shares his own decades long journey supporting the mental health of those who sacrifice their own lives in order to save others. In this episode, Michael Marks distills what he’s learned about the women, men— the culture of first responders from veterans of foreign wars to the everyday civilian heroes who work in paramilitary cultures— the fire, police and EMT’s who put themselves into the fray between dire circumstances, their own safety— while supporting themselves and their families.
