from Forensics Unfiltered with Gap Science · host Gap Science
JOIN THE MENTAL HEALTH IN FORENSICS SUMMIT VIP WAIT LISTWe’re closing out our Mental Health Awareness Series with a reflection on everything this month has brought into focus.Over the past several episodes, we’ve revisited conversations around burnout, trauma exposure, leadership pressure, recovery, and the emotional weight of long-term work in forensic science. And while each story is different, a few themes show up again and again: the slow build of stress over time, the normalization of exhaustion, and the moment many professionals start questioning whether they can (or should) keep going the way things are.We also want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who listened, shared episodes, or opened up about their own experiences this month. These aren’t always easy conversations to have, especially in this field, but they matter more than we can probably measure.A special thank you as well to Matt Davis, Letty Ramirez, Jason Cole, Kat Pope, and Alice White for being willing to share their stories so openly about trauma exposure, burnout, leadership, and recovery in forensic science. Their honesty is what makes conversations like this possible.And while this series is wrapping up, the conversation definitely isn’t.A quick announcement before you go...We’re excited to share that this year’s virtual summit will be the:Mental Health in Forensics SummitThis free virtual summit takes place during National Forensic Science Week and continues the conversation we’ve been having all month focused on burnout, trauma exposure, leadership, and what it actually takes to build sustainable careers in forensic science.If you’d like early access and updates as soon as registration opens, you can join the VIP waitlist here:👉 https://gapscience.com/summit-wait-list/
