Watch Your Six with Jonathan Parker
Your hosts have always talked about how important home life is as a first responder. Coming home safe can’t be your only goal and if you aren’t anything outside of your job it can make home life miserable not just for you but for everyone around you.
This week, the guys welcome speaker and wellness trainer Jonathan Parker to talk about just this topic.
Jonathan has a new course out that can help you through some of the toughest parts of doing what we do. We aren’t the only ones dealing with our jobs, we can inadvertently bring grief and trauma home with us and that isn’t fair to our families.
Jonathan doesn’t talk down to us, or his students and his content is based on experience and science not what Gary the thrice divorced Sergeant thinks you should do.
In this episode we discuss:
- Common misconceptions about mental health
- How getting home healthy and happy is more important than just making it to the door
- Quick steps you can take today to make your arrival home safer
- Did Jonathan really do CPR on his wife?!
