In this episode, Geoff Cameron - paramedic and counsellor - joined hosts Josh Alpen and Jason Anderson to speak candidly about the realities of frontline work: trauma exposure, PTSD, and the risks of tying your identity too closely to the role itself.
Geoff also covered Posttraumatic Growth, the value of conversation and connection, how to manage what you carry home from the job, and why it matters to plan for life beyond the uniform before that day arrives.
What our clients say
The facilitators were amazing. I didn't expect that level of depth in this session. The story from Matt with his policing career hit home with me particularly as I'm an ex civilian police officer too.
This presentation was more relatable and good to hear from ex-serving police as opposed to mental health facilitators with a clinical background.
Workshop delivered by people who have defence/policing experiences makes it easier to relate to situations.
All up it was one of the best mental health workshops I've attended.
A lot more content and knowledge and not just a tick in the box. Personal experiences helped show how self care strategies have assisted with mental health issues.
Excellent workshop for defence personnel. Instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about the mental health topic.
