Q: What's the core reason you believe retreats and this format are effective for healing?

Q: Can you tell us a bit about what you're doing today and how that works?
Dr. Tracy describes leading the First Responder Project, which offers retreats and programs to bring together veterans and first responders, facilitating experiential, group-based healing and peer support to reduce stigma and promote recovery.
A Veteran Answers the Call to Aid First Responders
Q: Am I correct? You went in as a mental health professional. Do I understand that right?

Randi Glossman, A New Day for Police Wellness?
Q: Randi, could you tell us a little bit about where you're from, where you grew up?
Randi Glossman describes growing up in Jacksonville, her early education and career path, and how she eventually joined law enforcement. She emphasizes her commitment to serving the community and pursuing opportunities in administration to support newer officers.
Jared Reston, Winning Vs. Surviving
Q: Jared, what was it about law enforcement that drew you?
