Listen "041: We Need Your Help. A Call To Action For Our Fellow Firemen In Los Angeles County Fire Department."
Episode Synopsis
This is a special episode specifically for our brothers in LACoFD. For this episode, we have teamed up with Rich Zuniga of Talkin Outta My Stash Podcast. With the recent tragedy in our department as a catalyst and with everything else leading up to that we decided to sit down together and share some of the things that we think can be helpful to guys in our department not only to hopefully keep anything like this from ever happening again but also to help us all begin to heal and become more resilient. These lessons come from our collective experience with trauma and life, both on and off the job. Please, if you are a fireman in LACoFD, share this with everyone in your station. We need your help to get the message out. These are real concrete things that we can all start doing right now to begin to rebuild our brotherhood. The three of us are on board for the work that needs to be done, join us, we need your help. Mike DeSena at Anchored Psychotherapy. (Mike is a combat veteran, a good friend, and a genuinely good guy.
