Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailTwo years ago we talked with Doug Monda and this is a special abbreviated and condensed version of that interview with him. The original is Episode 022.  Doug Monda was a professional athlete turned high-speed, low-drag SWAT cop, in a Florida city with a very high rate violent crime.  His identity was wrapped up in being an a very active athlete and operator… until that was suddenly taken away by a serious injury.  This led to depression, post traumatic stress, and finally two attempts to take his own life.  Warning:  This episode contains detailed 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) – 911The full episode is Episode 022: https://heychaplain.buzzsprout.com/1792621/10015539-022-surviving-my-suicide-doug-monda-survive-firstMusic is by Kevin MacLeodHey Chaplain Archive Excerpt A022Tags:Police, Depression, Health, Injury, PTSD, Suicide, SWAT, FloridaSupport 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
